[aur-general] What's goin on with Asterisk on Arch Linux?
Hi everyone... Today i decided to start creating the [1]OpenR2 package for Arch Linux. OpenR2 is a library that implements the MFC/R2 telephony signaling protocol over E1 lines. Along with the library, branches for Asterisk are provided with MFC/R2 support in chan_zap. Well done, as my first move i decided to check in AUR if someone else had already thought about this package. The package isn't there. Great. So, I decided to take a look at our repos and search for asterisk. [kalib@tuxcaverna ~]$ sudo pacman -Ss asterisk Senha: [kalib@tuxcaverna ~]$ I realized that we don't have asterisk in our "pacman". I can't believe it. Asterisk is such an important package. I saw it on AUR. How can we have the package into our "regular" repos? Only if a TU addopt it?

yes only if a TU or dev adopts it (and if the license is okay). But I don't really understand why it is such an important package, it only has 19 votes which doesn't indicate that it is a very popular package. Ronald
Well, it's such a nice package. It's de world's leading open source PBX toolkit. Very popular and powerfull. Thanks for your answer... I'll be praying. 2008/9/25 Ronald van Haren <pressh@gmail.com>

How can we have the package into our "regular" repos? Only if a TU addopt it? Basically. If no existing TU is interested in maintaining it, you can always find a sponsor and apply. (We need more TUs!)

Go brazilians, go! #) Asterisk is very popular, but it is used in servers. I dont know much people using Arch as a production server. Maybe this is the reason why asterisk is not so popular in Arch. -- Hugo
I don't think i'm ready yet... I'm new in arch community, but i'm trying to start my packages to AUR...maybe some day i'll feel ready for it. 2008/9/25 Daenyth Blank <daenyth+arch@gmail.com <daenyth%2Barch@gmail.com>>
