I was actually thinking of creating a script that you download and it preps your system for an asterisk install and it does everything for you. It can also have an option to run as a cron job and update nightly. The issue is that you cant just update some ones phone system if they are using it.

How can you test the new version beforehand to know that it works well? Solution: prepare a package of Asterisk in your own repository. Build it on one system when the a new version is released. Test it. Update the repository after you've done testing. Updating a system nightly from a repository is a ewll-known problem with many solid solutions for various requirements. E.g: cron-apt on Debian.

Re: [asterisk-users] installing * from source
Tzafrir, You make good suggestions, and you have raised good questions. Unfortunately I have yet to install * on CentOS 5, and all I am doing here is sharing my notes to facilitate other newbies. However my blog is available for you to share your ideas and expertise with the community.

I have added a yum step to update to current packages before proceeding to asterisk installation, running it on my machine right now. But this will give strange errors when trying to load zaptel modules. Your running kernel is INSTALLED_VERSION but the version of kernel-headers is UPDATED_VERSION . So I think you will not find kernel source for your version. (how nice it is to use Debian and not to have this.
