Dear Hunk, dear Gavin, In the official repository, we support the ROS indigo distribution.
In another post [1] in January 2015 on this mailing list, we, KristofRobot and I, agreed that we "would like to only support one ROS distribution to keep the maintenance effort low" [1]. As I am still in the progress of creating a stable CI system for meta-ros (and hence at the moment, building is still with some manual effort), I would like to continue to officially support only one ROS distribution. Currently, this would be the indigo distribution on https://github.com/bmwcarit/meta-ros. However, I created an experimental local branch for the kinetic distribution at: https://github.com/bulwahn/meta-ros/tree/kinetic-experimental I have tested to build it, and currently, most packages build without issues. The packages that fail on kinetic have already failed to build (with indigo) on the current master. Please remember that this is an experimental local branch: First, do not expect that this branch has been tested with many different build configurations, so possibly, your build configuration could cause build failure we are unaware of. Second, this branch is work in progress, and hence, the commits of this branch will be rebased and modified, and the git history will change in a non-monotonic way in the future. Nevertheless, go ahead and try this branch and report issues if you encounter them. At some point in time, we might merge this kinetic branch (or a branch that has evolved from this one) into the main repository (and maintain two branches or abandon the indigo distribution). However, this will be only discussed once more people ask for support of the kinetic distribution and the experimental branch has been tested thoroughly to be stable.
