thanks a lot for all of your work on asn1c.  I've been following it from
the distance, and I'm happy to see IOC + APER is finfally being worked on.

Thanks.  What is missing to get this merged/included?  Is there now a
testsuite for APER, similar to UPER?

The bigger effort is unfortunately not removing asn1tostruct.py from the
osmo-iuh repository, but it is porting over all the existing code in
not only osmo-iuh.git, but also osmo-msc.git and osmo-sgsn.git.  The layout
and naming of the C struct's has changed, and all needs to be adjusted 
accordingly.  It's also likely that some of the allocation/memory-ownership
patterns have changed and also need to be adjusted.

It would be great if somebody had an interest in working on this.  I personally
am way too overloaded already to do this, sorry.

Unrelated to the above:  If you are interested in getting a femtocell compatible
with osmo-iuh so you can build an Osmocom 3G network for testing: I'm happy to
give away the related hardware for free.  We've done that in the past for other
people in the community working on the Osmocom 3G stack, see the "accelerate 3G5"
project on the osmocom wiki.

Regards,
	Harald
