The flip side to this is that only A will get the fix, and not B to Z. This is why also we try to make sure things will be customizable at run-time. However, if you need to provide the same build to both system A and system B, there's double work. > > Using the Branch SVN checkout approach always provides the most up to > date code as opposed to replicating buggy stuff via rpms. What's the problem of building an rpm vs. latest 1.2 / trunk? The only issue is the existing patches. I posted a few monthes ago how to use an 'external' to get the debian/ directory from the pkg-voip repo nd build a package directly from svn using svn-buildpackage. Pick your branch/tag. You may have a set of local changes you wish to maintain. The way of rpm/deb is to maintain them as a set of patches. One possible alternaitve is to try to use an Svk repository with the Digium repo as an aside "upstream". It would still be a bit tricky. -- Tzafrir Cohen sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] icq#16849755 iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
