You need to check out the chan_sccp-b mainling lists on sourceforge. There is 
active development in SVN but not in tarball releases.

It is very stable.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Cisco 7960 sccp, Skinny and 1.4

Hi All,
I'm thinking of creating a new asterisk server using the latest 1.4
stable release to replace my ageing Asterisk SVN-branch-1.2-r7231 (its
been a while!).

My only concern - my phones are Cisco 7960's (with sccp firmware 7.2
loaded) and to support them better, I remember compiling in a skinny(?)
driver to replace the (from what I could tell) basic in built sccp
support. After digging around a little it would appear that the original
creator of the skinny driver has not done any development for ages.

Simple question, has 1.4 got better native support for sccp now without
having to add in anything extra to make everything work ok?, if not, is
there a version that someone may have carried forward of the skinny
driver that will work with 1.4?


Thank you,
Wayne.

Or, if you dont want to use outside modules use Asterisk 1.6 (which has
been released as well) with the chan_skinny driver.
A lot of development went into it and it's much more useable then the
1.2 version.
Myself uses chan_skinny in production without too much trouble.
Specially when you use the 7960 phones it's a nice setup.

What driver are you referring to ?
It must be something outside of the core asterisk, because a lot of
commits went into chan_skinny the last year or so.

Yes, chan_skinny in 1.4 is better then the 1.2 version, but the real
stuff happened in the 1.6 version.

1.6.0 is released, so why not use that one instead of 1.4?

 
 
 Thank you,
 Wayne.

Thanks both,

The only thing I have a little concern over is that 1.6 is that its 
still a development release (if I understand things correctly). 
Stability is the main thing for me (its only a very small set up) but 
there are no technical people around if something were to go wrong 
through the day.

I shall take another look at both options.

Thank you
Wayne.

No, 1.6.0 has been released. This is indeed the first public 'final'
release of the 1.6 series. But it's not in beta or release-candidate
anymore.
Basically, it's the latest and greatest version that should be stable.

 Stability is the main thing for me (its only a very small set up) but 
 there are no technical people around if something were to go wrong 
 through the day.

You do know it's just another daemon an a linux box right ?
If you cant afford downtime you should not bet on one server, but make
every part of your network redundant. That means at least:
connectivity
power
hardware
locations
backups
all the other stuff I forgot
