Well, I can't speak for anybody else, but I haven't had a problem with reproducing a source install. Notwithstanding a careful survey of the release notes with a new version when upgrading a production server (something you need to do with a package install anyway), I make sure I back up my configuration files, do a make and make install, restart things, and generally it works. >> Josu, if you are concerned about dependencies, use apt-get to install >> Asterisk first, then remove only Asterisk, Zaptel and libpri and install >> from source. > > Well, if you do decide to go this route, you need build dependencies > rather than run-time dependencies. Can you tell I'm a Gentoo user? :P I've got nothing against packages in principle, and my system has plenty of packages from the distribution, but I've yet to see a project as dynamic as Asterisk. What package maintainer could possibly keep up? -Stephen- _______________________________________________ --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
