Any progress on packaging for Debian Bullseye? I noticed Fortress on Bullseye is mentioned in REP-2000, but the sdformat12 rosdep key is only available on Buster. It means a binary release of sdformat_urdf won't be available on Bullseye.

We aren't working on adding Bullseye support, but if someone is interested enough and could start adding the release metadata for sdformat12 and its dependencies, we could help triggering releases.

[chapulina]

Removing Buster support since that's EOL.
