This project has consistently had the most stable CVS versions of any project I've ever used code from. That is an amazing feat especially considering how much changes on a day-to-day basis and speaks very well for the developers. And there are so many new bug fixes and features that I never seem to be satisfied by whatever stable version was last put out(that includes 1.0 now). I do agree that we shouldn't go shoving stuff into stable because we want it in there right away, stable needs to be kept boring and well.. "stable". But I'm glad I run all of my production boxes off of a recent CVS for the features and for the ability to test new versions constantly in a live setting. I've seen many new bugs or new features not work quite right when I have a new CVS version in production that I never found when I ran it as test, and the problems I have run into have always been fixed within a day or two even when I'm the one that reported them. One more advantage to updating your production box to CVS head weekly is that the programmers that made the changes usually have the changes they made fresh in their minds when you find a problem. I once found an obscure Zap lockup problem only 2 days after Mark had gone in and cleaned up some channel handling code. So I guess what I'm saying is if you can watch your system and can tolerate some bugs that come up, it is better for the overall project if you run CVS head(after making sure it'll compile of course), you will end up with a better tested product when it is finally released and there will be a shorter beta period before official releases which will speed the whole development process along. But this is just my opinion, I could be wrong. MATT---

None of the 3rd party Asterisk modules that I know of will work with -HEAD. chan_h323 was broken for a while, Caller*ID was broken for a while. Asterisk is growing up. Instead of having only one CVS branch where everyone has to be VERY careful about adding new features, we now have two CVS branches, 1.0-STABLE and CVS-HEAD. Where -STABLE is only bug fixes and -HEAD is used to try out new features, code, etc. I don't care if the CVS-HEAD version of Asterisk breaks since I use Asterisk on production systems and use 1.0-STABLE. If 1.0-STABLE broke or changed behavour I'd be pretty pissed off. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Current CVS has some realtime changes for voicemail & sip (pull from database, no reload required!) can we expect to see more fo the same? Could the dial plan eventually be databased? Or Is this even possible due to the complexity of it. (its obviously possible, but would it just confuse things more) -----Original Message----- From: Matt Riddell [mailto:matt.riddell@sineapps.com] Sent: October 19, 2004 10:21 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] DUNDi in stable?

[Asterisk-Users] ISDN > asterisk <> ISDN <> PBX possible ?
Hello May be this question is a little off topic. I like to use asterisk as follow, is that possible. NT1 ISDN from telecom >> ((isdn 1st card ) ASTERISK (2th isdn card)) >> excisting regular PBX system. In this way I don't have to invest in phone hardware stuff and i can join to the low cost VOIP calls. Specialy for my tele workers. Incomming calls go transparantly through the asterisk server. Outgoing calls go through asterisk to internet VOIP provider if cheaper. I'm mostly wurry about ISDN NT1 etc. Maybe someone can point me to a allready excist lowcost device on the market. Thanks Sjaak
Hello I have GNUGK already instaled and from the possible configurations, the only one that worked was this one: pwlib-1.6.6-0_11.rh9.at.src.rpm openh323-1.13.5-0_13.rh9.at.src.rpm but now I want to install the Open H.323 Channel on Asterisk and I cant, because It sais I need to have: Open H.323 v1.12.2 PWLib v1.5.2 Does Asterisk Open H.323 Channel only works with Open H.323 v1.12.2 and PWLib v1.5.2 or is there a way of putting the H.323 Channel working with pwlib-1.6.6 and openh323-1.13.5 ?? The Asterisk "readme" file says: "if you are not using the listed versions of Open H.323 or PWlib you are on your own" but this doesnt mean that it doesnt work.... does some of you allready putted it to work together??? Thanks Joao

Using cvs without the -r v1-0 gets you head. Good luck, Robert Jackson

I followed the document at www.bkw.org/dundi.txt but I receive the following error when I test: Oct 22 00:36:11 NOTICE[16384]: pbx_dundi.c:1025 update_key: No such key 'promed_pbx.promedicalinc.com.pub' for creating RSA encrypted shared key for '00:0f:1f:6d:19:3e'! I did run the astgenkey -n promed_pbx.promedicalinc.com.pub command from the /var/lib/asterisk/keys directory. I also verified using the CLI command show keys that the key is loaded and listed exactly like I have referenced it. On a CVS-HEAD-10/20/2004 machine following the same procedure I do not receive the error. Any ideas? Thanks, Robert Jackson

You are not supposed to put ".pub" or ".key" in the conf files. Asterisk automatically adds the appropriate extension. DOH!! Robert Jackson
