I have Ubuntu 16.04 installed with ROS kinetic. Matlab Robotic system toolbox only supports Indigo and Hydro, but I know that it is still possible to use Robotic System Toolbox also with kinetic.
However there are some messages that have been update in ROS system between the versions and I was thinking if it is possible to overwrite the ROS messages used by Robotic System Toolbox?
One specific service that I would like to update is the GetModel in gazebo_msgs package. The definition has changed so that the responce now has Header included http://docs.ros.org/kinetic/api/gazebo_msgs/html/srv/GetModelState.html http://docs.ros.org/indigo/api/gazebo_msgs/html/srv/GetModelState.html.
I tried to create custom messages from kinetic version of gazebo_msgs. It creates the messages but the old(indigo) messages are also now still present. Is there possibility to remove the gazebo_msgs(indigo) package from Robotic System Toolbox and replace it with my the custom messages(kinetic)?
