• cras_lint: common linter configurations for CRAS packages
• cras_py_common: convenience utilities for ROS programming in Python (not yet available in ROS 2)
• cras_topic_tools: nodes and nodeletes for safe and efficient manipulation with topics (not yet available in ROS 2)
• image_transport_codecs: image_transport converted to C++ and Python libraries directly usable even without a running ROS system (not yet available in ROS 2)

This package is always tested for architectures amd64 and arm64.

This package is supported on ROS 1 Melodic and Noetic (on branch master) even after their End of Life.

This package is supported on ROS 2 Jazzy and Klited (on branch ros2). Humble and Foxy are not and will not be supported.
