Hi,
I have a few packages that were created using roscreate-pkg under Electric. Now, due to the use of other hardware (armhf) and driver availability, I have to use Hydro. Since this uses catkin instead of rosbuild, I wonder if the packages can be used just like that or have to be recreated using catkin-create-pkg.
Thanks
You can convert packages to catkin (basic description of that process here). You can also still use rosbuild packages with hydro, in which case you´d want to use a dual workspace setup that uses a rosbuild workspace on top of a catking one as described here. Both options require some amount of understanding the basics, but shouldn´t take too long to implement. That is, at least if your package does not have (many) rosbuild dependencies. If it has, that means you also have to convert all dependencies to catkin, which could be a very involved process in the worst case.
