Exactly, Jose your sentence is not clear. Should I understand that
gazebo11 _only works with ign-transport8 and not ign-transport11? Why?
I'm asking the same as Jochen.
Gazebo11, as far as I know nowadays, has only been tested and used with ign-transport8. Could it work with ign-transport11? Maybe, I've never seen that combination but there is nothing I know of preventing it from working. The point here for me is: do we want to explore the route of combining gazebo11 on top of different major versions of Ignition libraries than the ones supported upstream instead of having multiple versions of Ignitions in Debian? Because going with the first option could lead us to find bugs and other behaviour differences that upstream is probably going to close by saying: use the recommended version or use our binaries which use the recommended versions and that could create a severe problem for the whole community.
Thanks.
