/opt/ros/indigo
is managed by the package manager, and it may overwrite files and directories there at any time, so I don't recommend installing packages into /opt/ros/indigo
. (conversely, if the package manager finds files there that it isn't managing, it may fail to install future packages.)
As an alternative, you can create a global overlay that isn't managed by the package manager, and install packages from source there. /opt/ros/indigo_overlay
or /opt/ros/indigo_local
might be a good choices.
