[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?
Best regards

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.

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.

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.
