asterisk users - Apr 2010 - Asterisk and Archlinux

Hi all,
Is anyone here using Asterisk on Archlinux?
If so, was it much to do in order for it to work?
Do you also use Dahdi?
many thanks,
Christian

Yes and no, I do use it on Archlinux for testing purpose but not as a
server.
Arch linux is not built to be a server distro, unlike Debian that have extra
steps for process handling, like restarting a service that was just updated
and more.

You need to either use the AUR builds or download the ABS information and
build it for yourself. Personally I use the yaourt tool as a pacman front
end.

Like any other Asterisk it must have a dahdi module, at least dahdi_dummy.

I did use it for my first asterisk installation, but I moved to Debian
due to things I disliked in arch as a server distro.

I did not and still do not use Dahdi at all
(http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+ConfBridge).

I compiled everything from source without PKGBUILDS, since they are
quite annoyting when talking about re-compiling of a package.
