Where to store messages and services

[anijjar]

After loosing much of my hair, I learned that the best way to create messages and services is to have a dedicated package for them. I call it, auvic_msgs. When every package has their own custom messages and services and if they are called by nodes contained in different packages, catkin_make will not take any action to build them first. Instead it will throw errors since the header files were not generated.

She you want to make a custom message or service. Put it in the auvic_msgs package.

Format: __name.srv/msg
