It is sad that Ettus depreicates those versions that are shipped by the
major stable distributions. This means that anyone basing their
projects or products on stable versions of those major distributions /
OS vendors will run into trouble. I consider that quite questionable,
but it is of course not my call and there's nothing we can do about it.

That's Ettus' decision. However, when you introduce a dependency into
osmo-trx which breaks our official nightly package builds, I would argue
it is also your responsibility to resolved that in some way, or at least
to provide a solution to that problem :)

Do you know how to add that dependency on external binary package repos
to OBS? Or do we have to re-build the soruce packages as part of the
OBS build? Would you be taking care of this if we provide you with the
respective privileges on the osmocom OBS build?

Harald
