Release of Pinocchio 2.7.0 into ROS 2 Rolling (and possibly Jazzy)

[clalancette]

Currently pinocchio is failing to build on ROS 2 Rolling: https://build.ros2.org/job/Rsrc_uN__pinocchio__ubuntu_noble__source/ .

The easiest solution to this problem is to do a new release of pinocchio into ROS 2 Rolling using bloom-release, which should bump the version to 2.7.0.

If you want, you can also do a release of pinocchio 2.7.0 into Jazzy; that is completely up to you.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

@clalancette thanks for stepping into this !

And sorry for not fixing this sooner.

Could you point me to a way to test a release before just running bloom to open a PR ? I have been "just running bloom" a couple time on pinocchio and its dependencies (eigenpy & hpp-fcl), but this is not working better.

For ROS1 (we also have broken packages on noetic), I was using prerelease.ros.org, which was allowing me to fix the ROS patches before opening the PR, but I can't anymore: ros-infrastructure/prerelease_website#65

Yeah, unfortunately there isn't currently an easy way. In theory it is possible to do a pre-release type thing following the instructions in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA20_iRBLrg , but I have no idea how well that works anymore.

I'll suggest just doing a bloom-release, and seeing what happens. Totally understood that it isn't the most efficient way, but it is the best I can offer for now.

Thanks, I will follow your suggestion asap, and look at those instructions after that.
