Hello !
first of all, thank you for your work.
I would like to know if an Indigo's version of this package will be available soon ?

Thank you !

Hi,

currently supported are only Kinetic (LTS) and Lunar. I don't plan to support or release packages for Indigo. I suggest to upgrade to Kinetic or Lunar.

If you need to run on Indigo, you need to build it yourself, but beware, there might be some patching needed.

thank you for your answer.
Unfortunately I don't have the skills required to do it !

Maybe it is not as hard as it sounds. Building catkin packages is not too difficult (usually just just need to invoke catkin_make) and there are some tutorials:

• http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/using_a_workspace
• http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials

Upgrading ROS requires usually 3 steps and I'm not aware of any tutorial on that:

1. remove all ROS packages, backup installed package names
2. upgrade Ubuntu
3. install all your previous ROS packages for the new distro

You can find a lot of tutorials on upgrading ubuntu.

I would recommend to upgrade your ubuntu to Xenial LTS and use ROS Kinetic. Then you can easily install released packages for ROS Kinetic.
