colcon-ros

colcon-ros is an extension for the colcon build tool that adds support for discovering and building ROS packages (both ROS 1 and ROS 2 style, primarily ROS 2). It enables `colcon` to understand `package.xml` files, making it the standard build system for ROS 2. The current version is 0.5.0, and it follows the release cadence of the wider colcon and ROS 2 ecosystem, with updates often tied to new ROS distributions.
