Revision history [back]

In short: catkin is mainly cmake, rosbuild uses cmake, but does "stuff" on its own.

The default/preferred build system in ROS is catkin. So, you should start new packages in catkin. However catkin packages can only depend on other catkin packages. So, if you have a dependency that is still on rosbuild, you'll need to convert that first or use rosbuild for your packages.
