Bug#590558: asterisk: Asterisk should not depend on dahdi
Package: asterisk Version: 1:1.6.2.5-0ubuntu1 Severity: normal Dahdi installation has many impacts : - It requires to rebuild the kernel module (long process) - It depends on many unuseful packages for the build (download time, disk space) - It has to download some parts (need full internet access or configuring wget when behind a proxy) And the most important part is that not every people using Asterisk need Dhadi! Please can you split the package so there is no Dhadi dependency on the base package.

Bug#590558: Réf. : Re: Bug#590558: asterisk: Asterisk should not depend on dahdi
Answer to the off-topic : I use a fresh Ubuntu I checked if the same problem (dependency on dahdi) was also on Debian packages. It is! So I wanted to report the bug to Debian and not only Ubuntu... (Ubuntu may update then...) to do so, I installed reportbug, then typed reportbug -B debian and after modifying my reportbugrc by adding bts debian I finaly typed reportbug asterisk Tzafrir Cohen tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com 27/07/2010 13:33 Remis le : 27/07/2010 13:42 Pour : Pascal GRELICHE pascal.greli...@ctdi-europe.fr, 590...@bugs.debian.org cc : Objet : Re: Bug#590558: asterisk: Asterisk should not depend on dahdi notfound 590558 1:1.4.21.2~dfsg-3 found 590558 1:1.6.2.0~rc3-1 severity 590558 wishlist thanks On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 11:43:00AM +0200, Pascal GRELICHE wrote: Package: asterisk Version: 1:1.6.2.5-0ubuntu1 Or rather, anything above 1.6.1, and more so: anything above 1.6.2 .
