Hi all,
several years ago at an OsmoDevCon, we decided to rename the PCU mailinglist into osmocom-net-grps to expand it to cover all parts of the GPRS/packet-switched systm, and then continue to discuss circuit-switched stuff in openbsc.
Over the years it seems the list was more and more forgotten, and all patches were posted here. I would like to propose to move all GPRS / PS related discussion to the osmo-net-gprs mailing list again.
Now you can argue that osmo-sgsn, osmo-gbproxy and gtphub are all built inside the openbsc repository. The presence of osmo-sgsn, osmo-gbproxy etc. inside one single OpenBSC git reposiory is a historic legacy, and one that I'm not very proud of. Rather than having more of that overlap/confusion we should probably aim for less and more separation.
However, let's wait for the Iu-CS / Iu-PS integration and osmo-cscn (nitb without integrated bsc) first, and then look at how to lay out the source code repositories.
Meanwhile, let's please aim at discussing GPRS related topics + patches (particularly PCU bits) on the osmocom-net-gprs list. Thanks for your attention!
I think there are a lot of people on the openbsc lists who are primarily interested in OsmoNITB and who are not neccessarily interested in the low-level-bits of the GPRS/EGPRS RLC/MAC layers ....
Regards, Harald
Would it be possible to point patchwork to osmocom-net-grps as well?
cheers, Max.

I'll ask Jeremy for that, thanks.

Thanks for this ... unless we want to create another list for 3G (named 3G because it would be a list for three Germans).
