This change adds repository checking capabilities to OpenEmbedded rules. Though many other platforms target a specific release, it was easy to simply point this check at the
master
branch.If any OpenEmbedded users have feedback on which branch to target or any other part of this checking logic, please feel free to comment here.
Inspired by: #40012 (comment)
At present, the checker found 56 invalid rules in rosdep:
This is not a remotely alarming number - we carry far more invalid rules on other platforms. There is no particular urgency to address the invalid rules as only new rules will be run through the checker automatically during pull requests.
