Upgrading eclipse-titan in the Osmocom OBS¶

This article explains how maintainers of obs.osmocom.org can upgrade the eclipse-titan package or add patches to it, e.g. to fix building against a newer GCC.

Running the testsuite against new/different versions of eclipse can be done with *-titan-master in docker-playground (see this patch).

Find the Osmocom git repository¶

The OBS package gets built from a git repository. Find the path to it in osmo-ci/scripts/obs/update_obs_eclipse_titan.sh. As of writing: https://gitea.osmocom.org/osmith/titan.core

Add patches to current version¶

Push a patch to the current branch, e.g. osmocom/9.0.0. Then run:

$ ./update_obs_eclipse_titan.sh PROJ

Replace PROJ with home:yourusername first, to build the package there and test it. Afterwards set PROJ to osmocom:latest.

Upgrade the version¶

• Clone the git repository
• Add the upstream repository as second remote: https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipse/titan/titan.core/
• Push the git tag of the next version to the Osmocom git repository (this is needed, so the package version gets calculated properly)
• Rebase the osmocom/<OLD-VERSION> branch on that release tag
• Create a osmocom/<NEW-VERSION> branch based on that rebase
• Run update_obs_eclipse_titan.sh as described above
