Hi John
I've jumped around between several Asterisk versions on Centos 7 by doing
1. Copying the asterisk binary in
/usr/sbin/asterisk
to
/usr/sbin/asterisk.1.8.11.0
(or whatever version number)
2. Tar'ing up the /usr/lib/asterisk/modules directory's contents
# cd /usr/lib/asterisk/modules
# tar cvf asterisk.1.8.11.0.tar *
3. Deleting all the old / different version's module object files, e. g. still
in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules
rm -rf *.so
4. Untarring and ungzipping the new / different version I downloaded manually
into my
/usr/src
folder, e. g.
cd /usr/src
gunzip asterisk-1.8.32.3.tar.gz
tar xvf asterisk-1.8.32.3.tar
5. Then the usual
# cd asterisk-1.8.32.3
# ./configure
# make menuconfig
then set options then
# make
# make install
# make samples
# make progdocs
Ok, so now I'm on 1.8.32.3 and if I go
# asterisk
I will start up the "new" 1.8.32.3 version.
To revert to Asterisk 1.8.11.0 (or whatever) I then stop asterisk, and then I
simply rename the current
/usr/sbin/asterisk to
asterisk.18.32.3
and the
/usr/sbin/asterisk.1.8.11.0
that is still there to
/usr/sbin/asterisk
thereby making that binary active again.
Then I tar up all the .so files in
/usr/lib/asterisk/modules
into
asterisk.1.8.32.3.tar
and delete all .so files in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules, then extract
tar xvf asterisk.1.8.11.0.tar
to revert to the older version's modules.
I can then go
# asterisk
and now I'm back to running
Asterisk 1.8.11.0
I've done this with three or four different Asterisk versions in the past,
switching between them for testing.
A bit more manual procedure that you've done, but it does work to try out
similar Asterisk versions / subversions for testing?
Regards,

install.
