Hi. For quite some time Osmocom packages are available in Debian [1] and Ubuntu [2] repositories. That's a really nice thing although there're only minor distro-specific updates between different releases so far.
In addition to usual "fix old bugs, add new features (and bugs :)" progress, there're bigger changes happening in Osmocom [3] projects. Most notably: we now have multiple repositories for BSC/MSC/SGSN instead of single OpenBSC repo. The process is not finished yet (doc/manuals update is still under way for example) but I think it's already a good time to discuss how can we bring those changes into Debian/Ubuntu repositories. We already have nightly builds for all packages from new repositories [4] as well as old ones [5]. The basic question is - what shall we do to get the packages built from new repositories into Debian/Ubuntu? Is there something we (upstream) can do, to facilitate the process? Are there some notable .deb-specific patches you'd like to see merged? Should I have used some other channel to communicate instead of emails I've fetched from changelogs?
