initial version

I haven't tried this solution myself. But this may work:

  1. Add --upstream option to rosinstall_generator ros_comm .. command:

    rosinstall_generator ros_comm --upstream --rosdistro indigo --deps --wet-only > indigo-ros_comm-wet.rosinstall

  2. Modify indigo-ros_comm-wet.rosinstall and change the URI for ros_comm repo to your own fork. Make sure to change the version field to appropriate branch/tag of your fork.

    • git: local-name: ros_comm uri: https://github.com/asundaresan/ros_comm version: 1.11.15

To ensure maximum compatibility, it is a good practice to rebase your changes on top of the current stable version of ros_comm. 1.11.15 in this case.
