The current hicn sysrepo plugin is built using a verify job that requires sysrepo.

The sysrepo deb packages + dependencies have been manually built and are retrieved from an external source to just build this small piece of code. This is ugly but saves a lot of time in terms of verification as sysrepo does not need to be built from sources.

We may want to use another approach using a pre-built docker image to just verify our code.

One solution would be to migrate the hicn sysrepo plugin to the new sysrepo devel implem first.

Create a new docker with all dependencies built inside and use it for both verification and merge of the hicn sysrepo plugin.

This preliminary image could also be use to build the hicn vswitch.
