Same situation for Ubuntu using the debian package format, but I have not found a repository so far and Ubuntu delivers just the old 1.2 release. :) Marcus ___ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!

As for the Debian ones: http://packages.debian.org/asterisk As you can see there, the Unstable packages are currently at 1.4.11 . Not that bad. There are certain petty things that delay that package from getting into Testing right now. Also in that page you an find the sources of the package (tarball, dif and a small .dsc file). http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/asterisk will also give you link to the subversion where the sources (or rather: the diff) are maintained. And then there's a build server where new and untested packages are built. Including backports for various Debian and Ubuntu distributions. http://buildserver.net/ -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tzafrir ___ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!

This is where I get my libpri and zaptel RPMs from (though I still build * from source, as the RPM compilation options they use are not to my liking). There is a book called Maximum RPM. The dead tree version is now pretty out of date with respect to the latest version of RPM (though still a good introduction if you've never built a package). I believe there was a slightly more up-to-date online version, but it still had some gaps the last time I looked. The best way to learn seems to be to examine good examples and then build your own package using their techniques. -- j. ___ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!

I've looked at a lot of Asterisk spec files (including the ones at atrpms.net, and the ones at http://www.laimbock.com/asterisk/), but so far my favorites are the ones done by Jeff C. Ollie at http://repo.ocjtech.us/misc/fedora/7/SRPMS/. They're about the most thorough I've seen. There is a book called Maximum RPM. The dead tree version is now pretty out of date with respect to the latest version of RPM (though still a good introduction if you've never built a package). The Red Hat RPM Guide is online at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts/rpm-guide-en/, and it's fairly good. I also highly recommend the guide from Guru Labs, available at http://www.gurulabs.com/GURULABS-RPM-LAB/GURULABS-RPM-GUIDE-v1.0.PDF Personally, I agree with the original poster... the spec file that's currently in the Asterisk source is less than useful, and should probably be replaced. -- Jared Smith Community Relations Manager Digium, Inc. ___ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!

[asterisk-users] Building an RPM from Asterisk 1.4
Ok, so I'm no rpm expert, but Asterisk 1.4.11 comes with an asterisk.spec file. Running rpmbuild against it yields errors, the first one being that the 'Copyright' tag is unknown, and that I need a License tag instead. Fixed that, and... Processing files: asterisk-CVS-1 error: File not found: /tmp/asterisk/etc/asterisk error: File not found by glob: /tmp/asterisk/etc/asterisk/*.conf error: File not found by glob: /tmp/asterisk/etc/asterisk/*.adsi error: File not found: /tmp/asterisk/etc/asterisk/extensions.ael error: File not found: /tmp/asterisk/etc/rc.d/init.d/asterisk And so on. What am I missing here? Why doesn't rpm build the /tmp/asterisk directory itself? Why is it looking for files that obviously don't exist? Doug. ___ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!

Re: [asterisk-users] Building an RPM from Asterisk 1.4
I'd like to know why the spec file is even included at all then? I think we'd prefer to build our own, rather than trust someone elses build.
