Description

23:33 < fixeria> gosh, it literally took me ~1 to figure out why doing `apt install osmo-bts` in 
                 our Debian based docker images suggests to install an ancient osmo-bts version 
                 0.8.1-2
23:34 < fixeria> as it turns out, there is no package named 'osmo-bts' in our openSUSE repos;  we 
                 have osmo-bts-{trx,sysmo,...}
23:41 < fixeria> I find this confusing.  Maybe we should add a meta package depending on osmo-bts-*?

I think it is a good idea to avoid users running into strange problems on Debian or Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu.

In general, we should try to make sure our package names don't diverge of those of upstream - or if they do, that we "override" those upsteam packages with virtual packages, or "conflicts" or whatever.

EDIT: https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-bts/+/26424

Ah, it was closed because I pushed it to a branch osmith/meta-pkg for testing on a separate OBS namespace. Maybe redmine needs to be configured to only close issues if commits in master have the Closes: tag in commit messages?

Hi Oliver,

unfortunately ancient osmo-bts is still the case for the 'latest' feed. Reopening this ticket.

The meta-package has been introduced in master, since then no release has been tagged. If it makes sense, I could backport the change. What do you think?
