cvToImgMsg equivalent in Indigo?

I have ROS Indigo on Ubuntu Trusty, and I'm following along with this tutorial http://wiki.ros.org/image_transport/T... . However, if I go along with the code exactly, catkin_make tells me that cv_bridge/CvBridge.h doesn't exist. If I replace CvBridge with cv_bridge, it has no problem finding the header file, but I get a problem with the following line:

  sensor_msgs::ImagePtr msg = sensor_msgs::cv_bridge::cvToImgMsg(image.Ipl(), "bgr8");

The message I get is "error: ‘sensor_msgs::cv_bridge’ has not been declared". Is CvBridge.h deprecated as of Indigo? If so, how do I accomplish what cvToImgMsg is supposed to do?

Looks like that tutorial is 4 years old, so sadly looks like the API has been broken since then.

If you take a look at the code api, you can see the correct method to call and the namespace as well. You should be able to call the .toImageMsg() method directly on the CvImage type.

This tutorial looks more up to date http://wiki.ros.org/cv_bridge/Tutoria...

CvBridge.h was deprecated in Fuerte or Groovy, and was removed in Hydro. The cv_bridge tutorials are up to date, but I guess this tutorial didn't get updated along with the others.
