Looking at ros/rosdistro@45edff24/hydro/release.yaml, there is no mavros there (ctrl+f).

So this seems like it is expected behaviour, at least from the time machine.

Because you opened an issue I gather that you didn't expect it though :)

Yikes. That makes this issue even more concerning. Why is mavros missing from the rosdistro? Looking through the release history of mavros on GitHub, it seems that the first release, v0.1.0, was shortly before (5 Jan 2014) the date of the fix commit for this bug (14 Jan 2014).

I don't know exactly yet, but the first version of mavros that appears in ros/rosdistro would seem to be 0.5.0 (from this search).

It could be that earlier versions were released from the precursor to ros/rosdistro (that would be an SVN repository).

I'll see if I can find that.

I've not spent too much time on this, but I haven't been able to find any earlier releases @ChrisTimperley. Not in rosdistro, neither in something like ros-dry-releases.

At this time I don't know where 0.4.0 and older are.

Unassigned myself as I don't believe this is something I can fix (mavros just doesn't seem to have been present in rosdistro at the requested time and date).
