Revision history [back]

Both, 0.7.15 and 0.7.16 have only been released into Melodic.

You can check what is currently released into kinetic or melodic. There you'll see that we are currently stil on 0.7.14 for kinetic.

Also note that even though a release has been triggered, it will take until the next sync (announced on discourse) until the debian is available in the regular repos. You could use shadow-fixed for earlier versions. This is what the difference in color is in melodic.

So to answer your question:

  1. No, you don't have to change anything for kinetic. You could switch to shadow-fixed to get versions earlier, in general. But this is not working right now, as it hasn't even been released into kinetic.
  2. Yes, but only once the new release is synced to the official repo.

What you can do is ask for a release on the catkin repo, but you'd still have to wait for the release to run through, and the sync to happen.
