Change software development process

[JanStaschulat]

Change software development process in micro-ros/rclc repository.

Prolem:

• ros2/rclc and micro-ros/rclc repositories have to be kept in-sync.
• issues can be created on ros2 as well as micro-ros repo
• duplicate merge of micro-ros features branches
  • first from micro-ros/rclc:feature-branch to micro-ros/rclc:master and,
  • secondly, from micro-ros/rclc:master to ros2/rclc:master
• creation of bloom release from ros2/rclc involves bumping version, this change needs to be pulled back to micro-ros/rclcfork.

New software development process:

• the micro-ros/rclc:master branch will be deleted
• new feature branches in micro-ros/rclc repository shall be created from ros2/rclc:master
• pull requests shall be created to ros2/rclc:master

Benefits:

• no synchronization necessary between ros2/rclc and micro-ros/rclc repositories
• single location for issues
• continue development of new features in micro-ros/rclc repository

TODO:

• resolve all errors due to bloom releases on ros2/rclc
• close or transfer all open issues to ros2/rclc:issues
• keep all feature branches at micro-ros/rclc => they need to be re-based to ros2/rclc later
• merge or close all open pull requests on micro-ros/rclc
• make a pull from ros2/rclc to micro-ros/rclc
• update scripts in micro-ros repositories : replace miro-ros/rclc:master to ros2/rclc:master (Pablo)
• rename micro-ros/rclc:master to micro-ros/rclc:master-depricated
• change default branch to micro-ros/rclc:main
• delete micro-ros/rclc:master-depricated
• inform community (presented in embedded working group on 03/03/2021)

PRs that change micro-ros/rclc to ros2/rclc: All merged.

At this point micro-ROS build system should not be using micro-ros/rclc

@norro @ralph-lange @pablogs9 I changed default branch from master to main and renamed master to master-depricated in micro-ros/rclc. If everything works fine, I'll delete this branch. (03.03.2021: update: I deleted the master-depricated branch.)

Please update the name of the main branch of rclc-repository if necessary:

git branch -m master_new main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main

Could you feedback, if the new setup works fine for you?

[pablogs9]

Nope, I need to change it at some points. I'll back in while.
