Hi there! Been trying out ROS and I'm simply amazed just how detailed the tutorials have been. One thing that's been puzzling me though is that catkin_make (and in my case, catkin build) seems to also look into the /opt/ros/kinetic/share folder on top of the source space. What is the reason for this? Is the latter space exclusively for packages I write while the former is for packages developed by other parties?

Many thanks.

I see. Thanks for the input.

.. More common packages like geometry_msgs or roscpp can be assumed to be taken from the /opt/ros/<distro>/share f

I see. So let's say I want to share my work and it uses both packages I wrote and not-so-common packages by other people
