We are converging on the ROS Groovy release. ROS Groovy Beta 3 is available now from the public apt repositories. For installations see: http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation
This brings us to over 450 packages building on all 6 supported Ubuntu distro arch combinations.
There are also new source based installation instructions: http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation/Source These have been tested on Ubuntu and OSX. It would be great to get more testing on other platforms. The most common issue expected to be encountered on other platforms will be missing rosdep definitions. Documentation for how to contribute rules can be found at: http://ros.org/doc/api/rosdep2/html/contributing_rules.html
We are waiting on a couple of packages to be patched and are working hard on documentation. Our milestone for the release can be seen at: https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/issues?milestone=2&state=open
Draft release notes are available at: http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy
