Andreas.Eversberg Andreas.Eversberg at versatel.dedear holger, dear harald, don't worry about little communication problems. the difference between being offensive and being contructive is only determined by the sound of voice, i think. we can't hear the "tone" in emails, so we try to imagine the tone when we read mails. so your constructive arguments can be easily understand wrong. let's get back to the patches. first, i decided to use one big patch, because the application interface requires almost all other parts to work. what i can do is to provide single patches that will work stand-allone, but some are dependant of earlier patches. harald already did a list of parts in it's order: * timer rename throughout the existing code * llist header changes (why were they made? c++?) * the transmit delay timer * introduction of trau interface * bsc_select_main(polling) * paging extension with cbfn BTS pointer * the actual MNCC interface * installation of libbsc (this should be last, since before the other changes it is of no use) i will start this week to apply the changes to the latest SVN snapshot, one by one. i will test it by calling from one mobile station to another station. (i think that is enough.) i will create a diff and announce it on the mailing list. (i can also put it on home.eversberg.eu or on the wiki, if you whish). after that i will continue with the next step, test it and provide the next diff. also, i need to know about "openbsc/openbsc.h" include file, i would like to add. it shall only include functions and definitions relevant for the application to use libbsc. because the application does not need to know about libbsc internals, the pointer to the "struct gsm_net" is of type "void". example in the first parameter of mncc_send(): int mncc_send(void *net, int msg_type, void *arg); this header file contains structures that are used by application and libbsc also, like: enum gsm_bts_type currently i copied the bootstrap code from bsc_hack.c into my LCR application, so i need to incude more than openbsc.h there. in my case i use a file called "bootstrap.c" which takes all the parameters to initiate gsm network an controls bootstrapping. i think this should be part ob libbsc in the future. if bootstrapping would be part of libbsc, there is no need to include more than openbsc.h to use the MNCC interface. what do you think? best regards, andreas
