This document is a declaration of software quality for the `geometry_msgs` package, based on the guidelines in [REP-2004](https://www.ros.org/reps/rep-2004.html). # `geometry_msgs` Quality Declaration The package `geometry_msgs` claims to be in the **Quality Level 1** category. Below are the rationales, notes, and caveats for this claim, organized by each requirement listed in the [Package Requirements for Quality Level 1 in REP-2004](https://www.ros.org/reps/rep-2004.html). ## Version Policy [1] ### Version Scheme [1.i] `geometry_msgs` uses `semver` according to the recommendation for ROS Core packages in the [ROS 2 Developer Guide](https://docs.ros.org/en/rolling/Contributing/Developer-Guide.html#versioning). ### Version Stability [1.ii] `geometry_msgs` is at a stable version, i.e. `>= 1.0.0`. The current version can be found in its [package.xml](package.xml), and its change history can be found in its [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.rst). ### Public API Declaration [1.iii] All message and service definition files located in `msg` and `srv` directories are considered part of the public API. ### API Stability Within a Released ROS Distribution [1.iv]/[1.vi] `geometry_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] `geometry_msgs` does not contain any C or C++ code and therefore will not affect ABI stability. ## Change Control Process [2] `geometry_msgs` follows the recommended guidelines for ROS Core packages in the [ROS 2 Developer Guide](https://docs.ros.org/en/rolling/Contributing/Developer-Guide.html#quality-practices). ### Change Requests [2.i] This package requires that all changes occur through a pull request. ### Contributor Origin [2.ii] This package uses DCO as its confirmation of contributor origin policy. More information can be found in [CONTRIBUTING](../CONTRIBUTING.md). ### Peer Review Policy [2.iii] Following the recommended guidelines for ROS Core packages, all pull requests must have at least 1 peer review. ### Continuous Integration [2.iv] All pull requests must pass CI on all [tier 1 platforms](https://www.ros.org/reps/rep-2000.html#support-tiers) ### Documentation Policy [2.v] All pull requests must resolve related documentation changes before merging. ## Documentation ### Feature Documentation [3.i] `geometry_msgs` has a list of provided [messages and services](README.md). New messages and services require their own documentation in order to be added. ### Public API Documentation [3.ii] `geometry_msgs` has embedded API documentation, but it is not currently hosted. ### License [3.iii] The license for `geometry_msgs` is Apache 2.0, the type is declared in the [package.xml](package.xml) manifest file, and a full copy of the license is in the repository level [LICENSE](../LICENSE) file. There are no source files that are currently copyrighted in this package so files are not checked for abbreviated license statements. ### Copyright Statements [3.iv] There are no currently copyrighted source files in this package. ## Testing [4] `geometry_msgs` is a package providing strictly message and service definitions and therefore does not require associated tests and has no coverage or performance requirements. ### Linters and Static Analysis [4.v] `geometry_msgs` uses and passes all the standard linters and static analysis tools for its generated C++ and Python code to ensure it follows the [ROS 2 Developer Guide](https://docs.ros.org/en/rolling/Contributing/Developer-Guide.html#linters-and-static-analysis). Results of the nightly linter tests can be found [here](http://build.ros2.org/view/Rpr/job/Rpr__common_interfaces__ubuntu_focal_amd64/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/geometry_msgs/). ## Dependencies [5] ### Direct Runtime ROS Dependencies [5.i]/[5.ii] `geometry_msgs` has the following runtime ROS dependencies, which are at **Quality Level 1**: * `rosidl_default_runtime` [QUALITY DECLARATION](https://github.com/ros2/rosidl_defaults/tree/master/rosidl_default_runtime/QUALITY_DECLARATION.md) * `std_msgs`: [QUALITY DECLARATION](../std_msgs/QUALITY_DECLARATION.md) 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. ### Direct Runtime Non-ROS Dependencies [5.iii] `geometry_msgs` does not have any runtime non-ROS dependencies. ## Platform Support [6] `geometry_msgs` supports all of the tier 1 platforms as described in [REP-2000](https://www.ros.org/reps/rep-2000.html#support-tiers), and tests each change against all of them. Currently nightly results can be seen here: * [linux-aarch64_release](https://ci.ros2.org/view/nightly/job/nightly_linux-aarch64_release/lastBuild/testReport/geometry_msgs/) * [linux_release](https://ci.ros2.org/view/nightly/job/nightly_linux_release/lastBuild/testReport/geometry_msgs/) * [mac_osx_release](https://ci.ros2.org/view/nightly/job/nightly_osx_release/lastBuild/testReport/geometry_msgs/) * [windows_release](https://ci.ros2.org/view/nightly/job/nightly_win_rel/lastBuild/testReport/geometry_msgs/) ## Vulnerability Disclosure Policy [7.i] This package conforms to the Vulnerability Disclosure Policy in [REP-2006](https://www.ros.org/reps/rep-2006.html).
