…ib/better_launch subrepo: subdir: "src/lib/better_launch" merged: "99aea1704" upstream: origin: "https://github.com/dfki-ric/better_launch.git" branch: "main" commit: "99aea1704" git-subrepo: version: "0.4.9" origin: "https://github.com/ingydotnet/git-subrepo" commit: "ea10886"
Ports all bitbots launch files (XML .launch and the existing ROS2 python .launch.py files) to better_launch, replacing the ROS2 launch system entirely. Old launch files are removed; new ones keep the same name with a .launch.py extension and preserve all original arguments, conditionals, includes, and node configuration. Also: - Reorganizes pixi.toml: moves the 5 new better_launch pypi deps (click, docstring_parser, osrf_pycommon, prompt_toolkit, setproctitle) into their alphabetical spots with a comment on why each was added. - Updates setup.py launch-file globs (*.launch -> *.launch.py). - Updates scripts/ros.plugin.sh (rl alias) and scripts/deploy/tasks/launch.py to use the new `bl` CLI instead of `ros2 launch`. - Updates docs referencing `ros2 launch` commands. Packages under src/lib/ are left untouched; their existing ROS2 launch files are included transparently via bl.include(). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Preserve the existing PR commits and better_launch migration while bringing in current main. Carry upstream launch settings into the converted Python launch files and regenerate the lockfile for the combined dependencies. Keep the PR calibration values and kick communication rate where both branches changed the same settings. Retain upstream DSD changes, which already include the PR behavior changes.

Before merging, please resolve the better_launch version and packaging discrepancies:
Please agree on a canonical revision, reconcile the version metadata, document or upstream the required patches, and decide whether to retain the subrepo or provide a patched Conda package through Pixi for both architectures. Posted on Jan’s behalf by Codex (GPT-6), based on repository and upstream inspection. |

The patches were done to fix annoyances with the console output of better launch, as well as reduce the chance of introducing accidental global dependencies:
I have not checked what kind of changes were made upstream, maybe some or all of these issues were already resolved. I don't think vendoring is absurd since it seems likely that we will need to make further patches to keep the software usable for us, but upstreaming these patches also isn't a bad idea. |
