Public API Declaration [1.iii]

All message definition files located the msg directory are considered part of the public API.

API Stability Within a Released ROS Distribution [1.iv]/[1.vi]

rmf_task_msgs will not break public API within a released ROS distribution, i.e. no major releases once the ROS distribution is released.

ABI Stability Within a Released ROS Distribution [1.v]/[1.vi]

rmf_task_msgs will not break public ABI within a major version number.

Change Control Process [2]

rmf_task_msgs follows the recommended guidelines for ROS Core packages in the ROS 2 Developer Guide.

Change Requests [2.i]

Documentation Policy [2.v]

All pull requests must resolve related documentation changes before merging.

Documentation [3]

Feature Documentation [3.i]

rmf_task_msgs has basic comments in the message definition files, but no list of messages or usage guide is provided. New messages require their own documentation in order to be added.

Public API Documentation [3.ii]

rmf_task_msgs has embedded API documentation, but it is not currently hosted.

License [3.iii]

The license for rmf_task_msgs is Apache 2.0, the type is declared in the package.xml manifest file, and a full copy of the license is in the repository level LICENSE file.

There are no source files that are currently copyrighted in this package so files are not checked for abbreviated license statements.

Quality declaration document [3.v]

This quality declaration is linked in the README file.

This quality declaration has not been externally peer-reviewed and is not registered on any Level 3 lists.

Testing [4]

Feature Testing [4.i]

rmf_task_msgs is a package providing strictly message definitions and therefore does not require associated tests.

Public API Testing [4.ii]

rmf_task_msgs is a package providing strictly message definitions and therefore does not require associated tests.

Coverage [4.iii]

rmf_task_msgs is a package providing strictly message definitions and therefore has no coverage requirements.

Performance [4.iv]

rmf_task_msgs is a package providing strictly message definitions and therefore has no performance requirements.

Linters and Static Analysis [4.v]

rmf_task_msgs does not use the standard linters and static analysis tools for its generated C++ and Python code to ensure it follows the ROS 2 Developer Guide.

Dependencies [5]

Direct Runtime ROS Dependencies [5.i]

rmf_task_msgs has the following runtime ROS dependencies, which are at or above Quality Level 3:

  • builtin_interfaces: QL 3

  • rosidl_default_runtime QL 3

It has several “buildtool” dependencies, which do not affect the resulting quality of the package, because they do not contribute to the public library API.

Optional Direct Runtime ROS Dependencies [5.ii]

rmf_task_msgs does not have any optional direct runtime ROS dependencies.

Direct Runtime non-ROS Dependency [5.iii]

rmf_task_msgs does not have any runtime non-ROS dependencies.

Platform Support [6]

As a pure message definitions package, rmf_task_msgs supports all of the tier 1 platforms as described in REP-2000, but does not currently test each change against all of them.

Security [7]

Vulnerability Disclosure Policy [7.i]

This package conforms to the Vulnerability Disclosure Policy in REP-2006.
