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.

What are the plans when Asterisk 20 is released, sometime around the third week of October, 2022? I've modified the main asterisk PKGBUILD to use Asterisk 18 (the current LTS version), but I haven't published it yet. I'm calling my package asterisk-lts, but when 20 is released I'd think that asterisk would be the LTS release. I'd think that the asterisk-lts package would be renamed asterisk-lts-18 or something similar when Asterisk 20 LTS is released. The asterisk package would be 20 until 21 is released, sometime in October 2023 if I'm reading https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions correctly.

I don't want to step on any toes by submitting my asterisk-lts PKGBUILD, it looks like a lot of work has gone into the asterisk PKGBUILD, and I've merely modified it to work with Asterisk 18 LTS.

Fix for broken PKGBUILD

@nimrod_mack Those files serve as both the examples and as the default config. It's pretty standard on Arch to dump default configs in place. Instead of just deleting them (which as you note just means they come back) you should edit them to your liking. For the ones you don't want to load change the import commands or blank them out, but keep them in place. That way pacman will handle the configs using the backup mechanism and prompt you to handle pacnew files for any that changed (and only ones that changed) since the last package update.

@alerque Currently, this package installs example configurations files in /etc/asterisk. As I don't need many of the modules, I also delete many of these files again. They would be installed again during upgrades, though. Therefore, I usually modify the PKGBUILD to install the provided config files to /usr/share/doc/asterisk/examples instead.

@tosie That patch does look useful, but per Arch packaging guidelines adding features & fixing bugs is something we try to avoid in packages except for urgent security things or if something won't actually build or run without the fix. That patch looks like something you need to submit upstream for inclusion. Please consider doing that so everybody can benefit.

I'll look into the imap voicemail app.

In my own build I usually add the two things below. Maybe that would be helpful for others.

  • Make queues support the device state "BUSY" (see diff regarding app_queue.c, applied via patch -Np1 < "${srcdir}/12-app_queue.c.patch" in the prepare() function of PKGBUILD)
  • Enable app_voicemail_imap (via ./menuselect --disable BUILD_NATIVE --enable app_voicemail_imap, depends on c-client)

By the way, get your votes in on your favorite asterisk codec packages on the AUR too, if licenses are in order I might be able to bring in some of those to [community] as well but having more votes on the packages helps justify the move.

alerque commented on 2021-12-21 09:01 (UTC) (edited on 2021-12-21 09:02 (UTC) by alerque)

I'm going to track this package for migration to the official [community] repositories. If anybody knows anything that should be done differently for prebuilt packages please speak up now, it's easier to iterate here before it moves than after.

The biggest change for those of you with this in production will probably be the location of temporary files to fit better with official systemd stuff.

@nkukard I'll be tweaking the coding style a bit prior to moving — not to step on your toes (I try to match style when I'm co-maintainer) but since it will be my responsibility in the official repos I'll use my style.

@JerryXiao Can you confirm that it is possible to build asterisk on a system without gsm and later use it with the gsm module working on a system that does have the dependency?

JerryXiao commented on 2021-11-16 03:19 (UTC)

"gsm" is not a makedep, it is at least a optdepend as it is required for the asterisk gsm module to work.
