[Bug 1716025] Re: Sync gazebo 7.8.1+dfsg-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Simon Quigley]

Since the release of Ubuntu 17.10 is fast approaching, it looks like
this might need a FreezeException, please see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess for details. If this can
wait until next cycle, it looks like it will automatically be synced
once that is opened, so if that's OK, there's no need to do anything,
but if you would like it in 17.10, if the FFE is approved, I'll be happy
to upload. I'm unsubscribing ~ubuntu-sponsors for now (so I won't see
future messages), please feel free to resubscribe ~ubuntu-sponsors if
the FFE is approved.

Thank you!

  I'm the maintainer of gazebo in Debian and also part of upstream. The latest gazebo7
  release missed the Ubuntu sync for a few days but I think that its worth to go
  into the LTS since it solves many bugs and adds some nice features developed 
  during the last year (regarding the version available now). It was tested for
  months since it is available for Ubuntu in the open source robotics foundation
  .deb repository.

  Our ABI checker says it is not breakage from 7.5.0 to 7.8.0:
  https://build.osrfoundation.org/job/gazebo-abichecker-any_to_any-xenial-amd64/370/API_ABI_report/

  I'm particularly interested into shipping the following fixes:
   * Fix race condition during Detach of HarnessPlugin (7.7.0 release)
   * Backport wide angle camera VM FSAA fix (7.8.0 release)
   * Fixes -inf laser reading being displayed as +inf (7.6.0 release)

  Thanks.
