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
