I use Asterisk stable, which is updated frequently enough for my liking. I use Debian Woody on my servers. I have Asterisk already running, and my service is interrupted only briefly. Here's what I do: Download the packages to /usr/src/. tar zxvf zaptel-1.0.7.tar.gz cd zaptel-1.0.7/ make clean checkinstall -D --pkgname=zaptel --pkggroup=Asterisk [EMAIL PROTECTED] --dpkgflags=--force-overwrite --nodoc --default -bk --pkgrelease=`uname -r` --pkgversion=1.0.7 mv zaptel_1.0.7-`uname -r`_i386.deb ../debs/ cd .. tar zxvf libpri-1.0.7.tar.gz cd libpri-1.0.7/ make clean checkinstall -D --pkgname=libpri --pkggroup=Asterisk [EMAIL PROTECTED] --dpkgflags=--force-overwrite --nodoc --default -bk --pkgversion=1.0.7 --pkgrelease=1 mv libpri_1.0.7-1_i386.deb ../debs/ cd .. tar zxvf asterisk-1.0.7.tar.gz cd asterisk-1.0.7/ make clean checkinstall -D --pkgname=asterisk --pkggroup=Asterisk [EMAIL PROTECTED] --dpkgflags=--force-overwrite --nodoc --default -bk --pkgversion=1.0.7 --pkgrelease=1 mv asterisk_1.0.7-1_i386.deb ../debs/ cd .. tar zxvf asterisk-sounds-1.0.7.tar.gz cd asterisk-sounds-1.0.7/ checkinstall -D --pkgname=asterisk-sounds --pkggroup=Asterisk [EMAIL PROTECTED] --dpkgflags=--force-overwrite --nodoc --default -bk --pkgversion=1.0.7 --pkgrelease=1 mv asterisk-sounds_1.0.7-1_i386.deb ../debs/ This builds and installs all of the packages I use and then puts the resulting .deb packages into /usr/src/debs. I can then copy the .debs to other servers and just install them with dpkg -i --force-overwrite. Works like a charm for me. -- Dana _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
