I'm starting work on some provisioning tools to simplify plugging in and configuring hard SIP handsets and conference bridges (maybe eventually MPEG-4 PoE video cameras that speak SIP as well).
Issue is that I'd like to glean as much information out of the configuration files... but don't want to write a whole new parser to do it (especially not one that understands templates and macros). For instance, from the voicemail.conf, extensions.conf, and sip.conf files, I should be able to generate 90% of the configuration state needed for provisioning an out-of-the-box Sipura SPA941... if only those files were in some more parsable format, like XML. How much effort would it be to add an application that traverses the configuration state and writes it out as an XML flat file? Or perhaps at some point in the future, Asterisk's configuration files could be represented as XML natively (did someone in the back row just show "gconf"???). I'm a relative newbie, so if I'm missing something obvious or there's been a religious war on the subject in the past, apologies... -Philip _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
