Revision history [back]

There is apparently no offical version for Bionic yet, which makes sense at is not even in a beta stage yet. However it seems that some version of ROS is now directly available from the official Ubuntu repo. You can install for instance sudo apt-get install ros-desktop-full (without version string indigo/kinetic in the package name)

$ apt-cache madison ros-desktop-full
ros-desktop-full |    1.8 | http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages
ros-desktop-full |    1.8 | http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe i386 Packages

If someone has more information about the rationale and further plans for that integration and its implications on the deployment of the different ROS releases I would be thankful.
