asterisk users - Dec 2006 - AEL2 on Asterisk 1.2.4

Hey all,

I am very interested in using AEL2 (don't want to upgrade to 1.4 to get 
it though), but am having some problems upgrading/patching my asterisk 
system.  I am following the instructions on the wiki:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+AEL2#AEL2AnnouncementsandNews

But get the following error:

"'http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/murf/AEL2-1.2/diffs.AEL2.patch'
refers to a file, not a directory"

This refers to the process of including the patch as described in the 
first portion of the wiki page.

Am am still new to linux so the problem could be just me, but I believe 
I followed the instructions.  They are pretty simple after all.

BTW, I tried both ways described and I could not get either to work.

Thanks for any help,

Warm Regards,

Lee

Lee, everyone--

Sorry about that. I've created a patches subdir in the AEL2-1.2
repository, and put that patch down in there. So, now, you do:

svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/murf/AEL2-1.2/patches

and then

patch -p0 < patches/diffs.AEL2.patch

Assuming that you are in a 1.2 source directory...

Hopefully this sequence will work better. I've updated the voip-info
wiki.

Again, you 1.2 users: It is not absolutely necessary to update your 1.2
installation to use AEL with 1.2; you can build a 1.4 somewhere, and use
the AEL in 1.4 to compile your extensions.ael into an extensions.conf
file via

aelparse -d -w

This will generate the file 'extensions.conf.aeldump', which you can
inspect and then copy into your appropriate /etc/asterisk directory on
the machine where your 1.2 installation resides.

The main thing to watch out for in this scenario, is that AEL uses a
slightly enhanced version of the $[] parser to do its thing. If you
don't use the new features, you should be quite OK.
