Is a release for ROS Noetic planned anytime soon?

Hello,
Is there a plan to release the packages for ROS noetic as well?

Looks like there still is some work to be done. However, if all you care about is getting this repo to compile, I have been able to get it working on ROS Noetic by building from source.

Clone this repo into your workspace. You'll also want to clone https://github.com/yujinrobot/yujin_ocs into your workspace as well. Many of the directories in the yujin_ocs arn't necessary. Delete everything except 'yocs_cmd_vel_mux', 'yocs_controllers', and 'yocs_velocity_smoother'.

If it's not already installed, you'll want to install liborocos-kdl-dev. Apparently in ROS Noetic, the python-orocos-kdl ROS package does not exist since it was decided to depend on the system version instead. It's needed as a dependency for the kobuki_testsuite package. So if you run the rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y in the root of the workspace, you'll see an error message saying that rosdep can't find the python-orocos-kdl package. This can be ignored though since the dependency is already satisfied with liborocos-kdl-dev despite ROS not knowing about it.

EDIT:
Linking to Issue #422 for reference.

I'm trying to run "kobuki" on "noetic" now.
But I get an error at "rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y" .
{
ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved
to system dependencies:
kobuki_testsuite: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [python_orocos_kdl]
kobuki_capabilities: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [std_capabilities]
Continuing to install resolvable dependencies...
#All required rosdeps installed successfully
}

Even after reading the above explanation, I don't understand. I think it's a dependency problem with rosdep.
I can't figure out how to solve it. I hope you can save me.......

I created shell script for installation per @swiz23 reply.
Tested on Jetson Nano and Xavier NX on 20.04 with Noetic.
