As far as I know if you want perfect comibility you shall either :
_ use orocos 2.6 and ros electric
_ use orocos 2.7 (which never gone out...) and ros hydro or newer.

ros changed their build system from electric to hydro, so intermediate
version are quite difficult to put in a full working state. Of course if
you can, I higly suggest you go for hydro or indigo which introduce huge
improvment in build system speed and workspace management.

The choice to integrate Orocos into ros as a stack depend on how you want
to manage your build system and dependencies.
