What do you mean by 'working with'? If you are developing asterisk code, as in changes to the source code of asterisk, the benefits are that you know whether: a) anybody else has already made the changes you want to make b) your changes merge successfully with the latest code If you plan to make your changes available to the community, you are better off developing against SVN, as that is where your patches will eventually have to be applied. If you are just compiling and using asterisk, the benefit is that you are getting the very latest features, including bug fixes that may not yet be in a release. By definition, SVN is ahead of the next release. You can answer for yourself what SVN equates to by navigating the tree, but I would characterize it as 1.6.2plus _______________________________________________ -- 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
