 I mean, really... you're kidding me, right?

It is not at all April 1st... however, I see the point in having a
simple demo app. Wether you call it helloworld or hellomarc, the
difference is not too large, right?

For me having a working example codebase has been a helpful guide in
programming modules for existing applications (not Asterisk yet,
though). You carve out Marco and put in your own code, there you are.

Besides that and an overly eager Mr. Smithers programmer, I do not see
a point ;)

Did you bother to check into why this is the case before spreading this
unfounded information on the mailing list?

First of all, this is *NOT* true unless the chan_h323 module was built,
which the vast majority of users do not do.

Second, the library is linked to the main Asterisk binary because of
some complex shared-library dependencies inside OpenH.323 and PWLIB. I
don't completely understand what they where, but the developer who did
the work (Pavel Cadach) does, and he can show you how *not* doing it
this way results in the OpenH.323 libraries being left in memory after
chan_h323 is unloaded. Since this can only affect users who build
chan_h323, it seemed like a reasonable change to make.

This was added as a April Fools joke, and has since been removed.  It's
nice to know that even software engineers have a sense of humor from
time to time. :-)

On the serious side, one might see it as an example of how easy it is to
add a new CLI command to Asterisk (complete with compiler flags, command
auto-completion, and the whole nine yards).

It was done as a joke.  It was committed only to trunk, and was only 
compiled if explicitly enabled.

Mark seemed to get a kick out of it, so, yes, I guess you could say it 
was useful to at least one person.


(Note, this code has since been removed, since clearly the date has long 
passed.)

Well, you'll have to excuse him for trying to make a joke.  :)

Anyway, you'd be happy to know that this was never in a release, nor was it 
ever 
intended to be.  It was only introduced in the development tree and has since 
been removed.

OT:

Still fits on a floppy, basically:

http://leaf.sourceforge.net/

If you look well enough you'll find Asterisk packages (e.g: in the
contrib for Bering uClibc). But that asterisk.lrp doesn't fit in a
floppy anymore.


OTOH: /usr/sbin/asterisk depends on libopenh323 . Now this *is* bloat.
