A ROS USB camera driver for Kinetic which was a long pending problem was released!
Although these packages was used in Indigo a lot, recently the maintainer was absent, and it was not possible to use it in Kinetic.
A voluntary group named Orphaned Package Maintainers is launched and a system has been established to be released in the transition to Kinetic.
In addition to this it has become possible to freely select from the following six additional drivers. Enjoy ROS-CV Programming.
