DAHDI is basically a set of kernel modules, which *by design* work only with the exact kernel for which they were compiled; so avoid any upgrade to the kernel if you don't have time to rebuild DAHDI. C library changes potentially could require anything to be recompiled; but in practice almost invariably don't, precisely because of how much breakage would potentially be caused. If a C library update requires recompilation of other packages then either there has been a Flag Day (and not the sort where mean people stay indoors!) or you're running Gentoo. I believe there is a way in Debian, and therefore probably Ubuntu, to have some script execute automatically following a kernel update. So you might even be able to have DAHDI self-rebuild following a kernel update. -- AJS Note: Originating address only accepts e-mail from list!
