That patch was more-or-less merged into Asterisk a while ago, at least the part that lets you build with an external editline library (which the Fedora package takes advantage of).

Yep, it's only a question of someone having the time to do the work, which hasn't been me. -- Jeff Ollie -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-dev mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev
