Revision history [back]

Generally you don't have to switch from rosbuild to catkin when using Hydro. It is still perfectly fine to build your rosbuild package using rosmake. That is not only the case for Groovy and Hydro but will also possible in Indigo (and very likely future releases as well).

The only effort necessary would be to catch up with changes in the packages your code depends on.

The only restriction for rosbuild packages is that you can not release the package anymore and the ROS buildfarm will not create Debian packages for you.
