Chance commands to control Roomba 645 from Indigo to Kinetic

Hello everyone, i have a question. Im working in a collage project its the robot Roomba 645 with Ubuntu 16.04 and ROS Kinetic, and im trying to install some packages for plataform TurtleBot, but I am following the instructions of a book that works with the Ros Indigo, then i have a little problem with this packages (ros-indigo-rocon-remocon ros-indigo-rocon-qt-library ros-indigo-ar-track-alvar-msgs) i tried to chance indigo with "kinetic" but doesnt working. So, Is there an equivalent command for ROS Kinetic? Please a need your help, thanks

It looks like an XY problem, what do you want to achieve initially ? I think the package create_autonomy would fit your needs instead of packages from turtlebot.

Could you post the error that you are getting? I guess some of the packages are not released into kinetic. Nevertheless you could try building them from source yourself.
