Melodic release

[roehling]

Are there any plans to release this package for ROS Melodic? AFAICT it builds just fine.

I can have a look at it, but don't have the resources to test myself, so I would rather prefer transferring maintenance. Any takers?

I cannot take over maintenance unfortunately, but you could ask on the "ros release" discourse group:

I have just tested the plugin as build from source on melodic and it works without changes. Given that @roehling also found no issues you could just release it untested.

If necessary I could also take over maintenance but I have no deep interest into this package and would actually need to learn what "doing a release" implies. I would then ask you a favor in return however: could you have a look why this testcase fails and if my PR makes sense: flexible-collision-library/fcl#309 😉

I dont have access to https://github.com/ros-gbp/octomap_rviz_plugins-release.git - otherwise happy to make the release.

[wjwwood]

@wxmerkt I invited you to the https://github.com/orgs/ros-gbp/teams/octomap team, which would give you access. 👍
