asterisk users - Dec 2006 - feel free to add to the bounty for issue 8064

I have posted a bounty in the dev mailing list for this issue, if you
are similarly impacted feel free to join in. This is a 2 month old issue
with significant impact to those of us using callback agents with SIP
transfers in 1.2;

 

http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=8064

 

I would like to offer a $300(US) bounty for a fix and subsequent merge
for issue 8064 in 1.2.12.1 and 1.2.13.

 

If anyone else can add to the bounty please feel free.

 

I think that the source of the bug has been clearly identified on the
bug tracker, including the revision and exact code that caused it. The
reporters, including myself (sohosys), do not have enough experience
with the code to provide a patch. We simply do not understand the reason
that the code was changed in the first place so we can not be sure we do
not regress. There are also other related bugs that must be considered,
at one point in the related changes a deadlock in the queue app was
experienced when a call was transferred and even a segfault after doing
a "show channels" after the failed transfer. The latter two issues do
not seem to be present in 1.2.12.1 and 1.2.13.

 

Terms;

 

Programmer must review and understand the code added in revisions 31520
37361, the patch must resolve the new issue as well as not regress on
the original need for the changes. A summary of how this was
accomplished as well as the patch for at least 1.2.12.1 and 1.2.13 must
be posted to the bug tracker. If the code requires a different patch for
trunk it will also need to be posted.

 

Disclaimers must be filed, and the patch and notes must be posted on the
bug tracker.

 

$150 will be paid via PayPal within 2 days of the delivery of a workable
patch (as tested by us on several high volume production servers), and
an addition $150 will be paid when (and if) the patch is merged into to
code tree for the 1.2 branch, which will obviously require favorable
peer review.

 

If this issue appears larger than a couple of hours work I welcome the
feedback.
