asterisk users - Feb 2006 - alternative to realtime?

hi

I recently spoke to mr McNamara on IRC, and he mentioned there was a  
"far better way to do realtime-stuff than the usual realtime in  
asterisk, and that this was GPL". He failed, however, to ever mention  
how this could be done, so I just wonder if someone else might know... ?

In space, loud sounds, like explosions, are even louder because there  
is no air to get in the way.

At no point did I ever make that statement.   As many know I have a 
serious dislike for teal-time.



For the record:


(10:31:25) stormfr: hello, i have daily chan_sip stop responding by said 
"grab the lock". Is there a way to identify where the lock is ? (using
realtime mysql + addons, head or 1.2.x)
(10:37:11) JerJer: don't use realtime
(10:37:40) JerJer: how about running a backtrace /
(10:37:41) JerJer: ?
(10:37:53) stormfr: there is no backtrace since there is no crash
(10:37:54) RoyK: JerJer: yeah, rather use a 20k line sip.conf. it's MUCH 
better
(10:38:09) stormfr: i have around 5000 users in sip and 500 in iax :/
(10:38:09) JerJer: stormfr: you can attach to a running process with gdb
(10:38:11) RoyK: stormfr: run asterisk through gdb.....
(10:38:33) JerJer: RoyK: I never said to use config files either
(10:39:24) RoyK: JerJer: no. just purchase something SPECIAL from you, eh?
(10:39:34) JerJer: did I say that?
(10:39:46) JerJer: you are putting words into my mouth
(10:39:52) JerJer: everyone has the source
(10:40:14) RoyK: what is this?
(10:40:25) RoyK: methinks realtime works splendidly
(10:40:29) ***fenlander hardcodes all his users in chan_sip.c
(10:40:59) ***RoyK tried that once, for fun, and it took asterisk 30 
secs to parse sip.conf
(10:41:04) JerJer: RoyK: you keep thinking that
(10:41:11) RoyK: yes, i do :)
(10:41:48) JerJer: then don't come crying to me when you hit the brick 
wall again
(10:42:11) RoyK: i won't
(10:42:23) RoyK: JerJer: but please share the secret of the alternative
(10:42:31) RoyK: i'd love to take a look
(10:42:39) JerJer: its not secret - you have 100% of the code





So Roy, I would really like to see where you found that quote.

You still failed to ever mention what this was all about, just that  
it was something really good.

roy

Check it now to see if it works correctly.

Once AGAIN - I have never discussed any alternatives.   I have simply 
stated that the whole design of realtime is not even sane, much less 
anything that should be used in a High Availability environment.

Roy, you still haven't pointed out the section in the GPL that says I 
have to divulge business practices and techniques.
