I started looking at this failure and found out code in this repository is really old, with nobody maintain it (13 months since last commits?).
ACK.
not that I'm aware of. It started as a project to translate circuit-switched A interfaces of a "BSplus" BTS+BSC combination into SCCPlite over IP. Then various other bits and pieces related to MTP and SS7 had been added, towards the direction of a STP. There may be many other features that I'm not aware of [anymore]. It's one of the many powerful but lesser known/understood Osmocom projects that primarily Holger was working on.
To my knowledge there are still some production deployments using it as a M3UA <-> IPA/SCCPlite translator, but there are plans to phase that out and use the "new" osmo-stp from libosmo-sigtran.git instead.
Can we disable the build of this project?
I think so. We should also add a related "unmaintained" notice to the README file or related documentation in the git repo, as well as on the wiki.
