The reason for this is quite simple: We want to make sure anyone
running a customized version of OpenBSC to operate a network will
have to release all custom modifiations to the source code.
This uses the osmo_daemonize() function of libosmocore >= 0.1.18,
and is now implemented for bac_nat, osmo-bsc, bsc_hack, osmo-gbproxy
and bsc_mgcp. This means only osmo-sgsn is missing, which currently
has no option parsing at all.
We want the VTY and telnet code to be independent from the BSC
application(s). As a side note, we also like to eliminate static
global variables for 'struct gsm_network' all over the code.
As such, telnet_init() is now passed along a "private" pointer,
which getst stored in telnet_connection.priv. This telnet_connection
is then stored in vty->priv, which in turn gets dereferenced if
anyone needs a reference to 'struct gsm_network' from the BSC vty
code.
Also:
* vty_init() now calls cmd_init()
* the ugliness that telnet_init() calls back into the application by means of
bsc_vty_init() function has been removed.
* telnet_init() now returns any errors, so the main program can exit
e.g. if the port is already in use.
This enables us to make the VTY completely independent of any
compile-time program-specific information, i.e. one step closer
to using VTY as a shared library from multiple programs.
The logging/debugging code is generic enough to move it into libosmocore
while keeping OpenBSC specific definitions in openbsc itself.
This commit uses the logging support present in libosmocore-0.1.2,
you will have to update your library to this version.
In separation of using the MGCP parsing in another context, refactor
the code to operate on a struct mgcp_config, split out the vty code
from the mgcp_protocol.c, and move the callbacks into the mgcp code.
There should be no functional changes.
This library is intended to collect all generic/common funcitionality
of all Osmocom.org projects, including OpenBSC but also OsmocomBB
The library currently includes the following modules:
bitvec, comp128, gsm_utils, msgb, select, signal, statistics, talloc, timer,
tlv_parse, linuxlist
msgb allocation error debugging had to be temporarily disabled as it depends on
'debug.c' functionality which at the moment remains in OpenBSC
Do not directly send data from inside the mgcp_protocol.c
implementation. Instead allocate and return a struct msgb*. The
caller can then either wrap that into the IPA protcol or directly
send it over the UDP socket.
* Separate main process and protocol handling into two parts.
* Change the protocol handling to work with UDP and TCP connection
* This will allow to speak MGCP over TCP between the BSC MUX and
the real BSC.
