Arch Linux User Repository

PSA: I've started hosting this and all its dependencies as prebuilt packages (x86_86 only) in my repository for those that want to install them using pacman without messing around with building from the AUR.

To get started installing AUR packages you're expected to pacman -S --needed base-devel

Couldn't install Asterisk Please help with this Error Output: ======= ==> Starting prepare()... Applying patch fix-upnp.patch /home/ar/Downloads/asterisk/PKGBUILD: line 163: patch: command not found ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting...

Some of those optdepends could be moved to makedepends so that the modules are built and if people want to use them they can install the dependencies (like odbc, postgres, etc) in the same way gsm is. helpful for those using automated building and can't modify the PKGBUILD.

Any chance srtp could be moved to depends so it's built by default?

I think optdep should be lua instead of lua51

I was able to upgrade from asterisk-lts-20 to asterisk-22.0.0-1 using this PKGBUILD. One thing I noticed, it replaced all my existing configuration in /etc/asterisk/ with .pacsave; which is a little annoying. I would have preferred the new files get added as .pacnew; is there any way to correct that? I don't have time to research the fix and supply a patch myself, so I apologize in advance if that is impolite to ask.

I was able to fix this with an anonymous zsh script, as root:

# for conf in *.pacsave; do 
    print ${conf}
    orig=$(basename ${conf} .pacsave)
    print ${orig}
    mv -v ${conf} ${orig}
done

Incidentally I just pushed asterisk-lts-22 to the AUR; it depends on asterisk>=22, and asterisk<23. Next year when asterisk 23.0.0 is released (circa mid-October 2025), the asterisk-lts-22 PKGBUILD will be replaced with the latest PKGBUILD from asterisk on version 22 which is the latest LTS release until the release of 24 in 2026 (assuming Sangoma doesn't drastically change the established release cycle before then).

Thanks @severach! patch added.

The update of third-party/{pjproject,versions.mak} from 2.12.1 to 2.13 is detecting libupnp on the system, usually from vlc, found on desktop systems, not found on Asterisk servers. This changes pjnath to -DPJNATH_HAS_UPNP=1 which causes -lupnp -lixml. Fix with this patch.

20.2.0-1 does not compile on my box (because: libasteriskpj.so does not have a link to libupnp.so?):
