I use portage only in the build system (chroot on my desktop) I make binary packages that I convert to my own format (http://apk-tools.sourceforge.net) That way I can append a pre-install/post-install/pre-upgrade/post-upgrade script and easily install/delete/upgrade packages in the runtime system. http://alpinelinux.org (It has packages for asterisk too btw...) > > Grateful for some pointers to research further > > Ed W -- [email protected] mailing list
