Holger Hans Peter Freyther c63f6f1f32 expiration: Allow to disable the periodic location updating procedure
Disable the periodic LU using "no periodic location update" VTY
command. In that case set the expire_lu to 0 which will then be
translated to a NULL in the database layer. This leads to a bit of
copy and paste in the db_sync_subscriber method but I don't see
how we could easily use 'datetime(%i, 'unixepoch')' and 'NULL'
at the same time.

Change the query to find expired queries to check for NOT NULL
and the time being in the past. This means if there are still
old subscribers in the database they might not be expired. One
would need to execute a query like "UPATE Subscriber SET expire_lu
= 0 WHERE expire_lu is null". The same applies when disabling the
periodic LU. One would need to update the database by hand.

Manual tests executed/passed:

1.) periodic LU enabled:

  * use gst LUTest.st to do a LU
  * UPDATE Subscriber SET expire_lu=datetime('now');
  * observe the subscriber being expired (it was)

2.) periodic LU disabled:

  * use gst LUTest.st to do a LU
  * verify that the expire_lu is NULL in the database

About OpenBSC
=============

OpenBSC is a minimalistic implementation of the GSM Network, with
particular emphasis on the functionality typically provided by the BSC,
MSC, HLR, VLR and SMSC.

Its currently supported interfaces towards the BTS are:

 * Classic A-bis over E1 using a mISDN based E1 interface. In other
   words, you can connect existing GSM Base Transceiver Station (BTS)
   through E1 to OpenBSC.  So far, we have only tested the Siemens BS-11
   Test reports with other BTS are much appreciated!

 * A-bis over IP as used by the ip.access nanoBTS product family

You can find the project documentation at http://openbsc.gnumonks.org/

This project is still in its early days, and there are lots of areas where it
doesn't behave as per GSM spec.

libosmocore
===========

Please note that as of March 2010, OpenBSC has a dependency to a library
called "libosmocore".  You can obtain that library from

	git://git.osmocom.org/libosmocore.git
