Nothing on my part - happy to release them as I think you're the primary consumer. Could you verify that 0.6 works on those distributions for you? The travis tests pass, which makes me relatively confident they would.

Just build it locally and used it with haros_catkin in Kinetic and Melodic. Also ran a pre-release for Melodic, which reports 16 tests with no failures.

I've used 0.6 "extensively" now on Xenial+Kinetic and Bionic+Melodic for #70 and #71.

This is obviously not an exhaustive test (so don't call me at 3am when things don't work ;) ), but I believe a release of 0.6 for those versions of ROS should be possible.

Thanks 👍

now to hope this doesn't break anyone's pkgs ;)

Kinetic 0.6 release was merged by Tully and just got a notification from the buildfarm that the build(s) have started turning green again.

Thanks @paulbovbel 👍

Spoke too soon :( Melodic builds are still failing, both Debian and Ubuntu based ones.

Might actually need a two-phase approach (first install setuptools >=44,<45 and then install pip).

Closing as 0.6 has been released into all current versions of ROS.

Thanks again @paulbovbel 👍
