Hi, Per David's request, I've done some research with Lua Dialplans, here is a good starting reference:
Lua Dialplan Configuration https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Lua+Dialplan+Configuration I'd like to get some feedback from others, particularly if we should enable pbx_lua by default. It seems the Lua integration is done in a fairly general way, so when a new function or application is added pbx_lua does not need to change (it seems). Some here might like the feature to use "luac" to compile a dialplan to obscure custom development work from prying eyes, though Lua decompilers exist and may render this idea moot. Anyway, I'd like to have a discussion if we should build pbx_lua in AstLinux 1.1.2 ? My biggest concern is if we choose to do this then we are locked into supporting this for the long run.
