Hello,
First of all congratulations to all people involved in this project.
I am new to this list but I watch the project for some time. I have some
questions and maybe some ideas how to make this project testers or
enthusiasts friendly.
I work with BSCes and BTSes every day at my work but I would like to try
and play with OpenBSC but the installation and configuration looks time
consuming and not friendly at all.
I have some questions and suggestions below:
* What about some packages for OpenBSC so we can install them easier
from a repository? How hard, time consuming is to make a nightly build
of the git sources and have some pre-compiled Debian packages?
* Did somebody try to build OpenBSC on SPARC architecture? I have some
Sun servers that I would like to use for this project. Same thing like
before, some pre-compiled packages would be nice for SPARC.
* Now, more like a project design request.
There is not so much documentation how to configure the parameters of
OpenBSC, SGSN and BTS so a web interface also would be nice and very
helpful.
Second thing on this topic, moving configuration from one server to
another needs to be exported easily and imported in the same way to new
hardware. What about a DB that keeps all the settings and with one
command in CLI or web interface you export everything and import it on
another hardware?
I am sorry if some things are already in OpenBSC but it's kind of hard
to find important stuff on that wiki. Also I know that OpenBSC is under
hard development so new features might come later.
Best regards,
R.
