Build ROS 2 Lyrical with Bazel: new ROS Central Registry release and a call for a working group
Overview
A new release of the ROS Central Registry (RCR), version lyrical.2026-10-05.rcr.0, is available via Bazel for building ROS 2 Lyrical and later versions. This community-driven project consolidates existing Bazel rule sets to provide deterministic builds using hermetic toolchains for C++, Python, and Rust. It supports Linux (aarch64/x86_64) and macOS (aarch64), includes Qt 6 GUIs built from source, and utilizes a read-only GCS-backed cache managed by Intrinsic. The release is currently a proof of concept, with the author calling for community involvement to fix bugs, develop release tooling, and form a working group to coordinate maintainers.
