Status of osmocom libraries in Debian

Hi, First of all I would like to thank you guys for working on an awesome project and contributing so much nice code! I've been working on getting the Osmocom libraries into Debian. libosmocore has been there for some time now, but I recently also got libosmo-sccp, libosmo-abis, libosmo-netif, libsmpp34 (not directly osmocom) and openggsn in. This means that all dependencies for building openbsc, osmo-bts and osmo-pcu should be available in Debian. I would also like to thank you for keeping a quite well-maintained debian directory in the tar-balls, even with good state of SONAME-ing etc. I've used this as the starting point where possible, but also modified them to meet "Debian standard". It would be great if you could test the packages and also verify that the copyright files contain all the copyright holders. Let me know on this list or on private email if there is something missing or wrong. Here are links to all copyright files: https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/libo/libosmo-abis/copyright-0.3.2… https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/libo/libosmo-netif/copyright-0.0.… https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/libo/libosmo-sccp/copyright-0.7.0… https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/libo/libosmocore/copyright-0.9.0-4 https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/libs/libsmpp34/copyright-1.10-1 https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/o/openggsn/copyright-0.92-1 You will have to run Debian sid (unstable) to directly install the packages using "apt install", but you could also download the .deb-files manually from: https://packages.debian.org/unstable/[packagename] or for Ubuntu here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/[packagename] I'm also aware of that the code is moving ahead rapidly and what is in Debian unstable now may quickly get out-of-date. But I will try to keep them up-to- date as much as possible, and also provide backport packages. Getting the packages in the first time is usually much more cumbersome than keeping them up-to-date. For those interested in Ubuntu, the current versions will most likely get into the next long-term support release (16.04), since its freeze date for package imports from Debian is already Feb 18th. So let me know quickly if there is something wrong so that I possibly may be able to fix it before the freeze (when it's much more straight forward). Cheers, Keep up the good work. Ruben
