asterisk users - Mar 2017 - How to install and configure Dahdi from Debian Stretch repo ?

Hello,

After all these years installing from source, I'm giving Dahdi package
installation a try on a recent Stretch box.

Google over the web, I didn't find too many doc on this topic.

1. Is this one [1] up-to-date ?
Reading Stretch I would say a single asterisk-dahdi would be enough to
install asterisk dahdi and libpri.

2. On my box, the following fails. What would you suggest ? Re-base
everything on Jessie ?
apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

3. How is dahdi started-stopped in Stretch ? (I can't find any
/etc/init.d/dahdi file after apt-get install asterisk-dahdi).


Best regards

Not exactly.

Almost. Except the kernel modules. For those:

  apt install dahdi-source
  # also install module-assistant, if it wasn't installed already
  m-a a-i dahdi
  # Should also install linux-headers-`uname -r`, IIRC

That should not happen. What is the output of uname -r #?

Started: should be automatically at boot. Waht hardware device do you
have?

E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-4.8.0-2-686-pae'

# apt-cache show linux-headers-4.8
...
N: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-4.8'
...

# apt-cache show linux-headers-4.9
Package: linux-headers-4.9.0-2-686
Source: linux
...

It looks like linux-headers-4.8 are currently missing in Stretch repo
though currently installed kernel is 4.8.
This issue seems quite independant from asterisk, anyway.


I started all over with a Jessie box.
Relating to [1], I could positively run:
# m-a a-i dahdi
...

But # dahdi_genconf required a reboot to run OK.
Though this worries me as I need to script the whole install process, I can
leave it aside at the moment.

Shall I find an /etc/init.d/dahdi file or equivalent ?
If positive which command produces this file ?
I would expect dahdi-linux or dahdi packages to install these file.
