Package: asterisk Version: 1:1.4.8~dfsg-1 Severity: wishlist While maintaining a lot of asterisk installations I've come to conclusion to split up a huge single package into smaller ones, like one package for one application, one package for codecs, one package for basic core functions (really minimalistic).
It could be auto-generated from asterisk menuselect (short description for every application/functionality and dependencies). I've almost done the packaging for myself and definitly will use it, but it seems to me that such splitting will be useful for others too. It will simplify the asterisk maintance and help tracking problems, make /etc/asterisk look not so terrifying to a beginner, etc, etc. The minor drawback is a huge list of packages like asterisk-app-voicemail, asterisk-chan-sip, etc, in my aptitude screen, but it could not be avoided yet, and we have an examples for that, like openoffice. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-1-686 Locale: LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R (charmap=KOI8-R) Versions of packages asterisk depends on: ii add 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii ast 1:1.4.8~dfsg-1 config files for asterisk ii ast 1:1.4.8~dfsg-1 sound files for asterisk ii lib 1.0.13-2 ALSA library ii lib 2.3.6.ds1-13etch4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lib 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2etch1 common error description library ii lib 0.63-3.2 libraries for connecting to MS SQL ii lib 7.15.5-1etch1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii lib 1.95.8-3.4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii lib 1:4.1.1-21 GCC support library ii lib 1.2.3-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii lib 1.4.4-3 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii lib 1.4-1 library for common error values an ii lib 1.0.10-13 Shared libraries for GSM speech co ii lib 0.6.5-1 GNU libidn library, implementation ii lib 1.2-3 C library for the Jabber IM platfo ii lib 1.4.4-7etch4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii lib 2.1.30-13.3 OpenLDAP libraries ii lib 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii lib 0.52.2-10 Not Erik's Windowing Toolkit - tex ii lib 1.1.3-2 Ogg Bitstream Library ii lib 1.18.0.dfsg-1 H.323 aka VoIP library ii lib 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii lib 8.1.9-0etch2 PostgreSQL C client library ii lib 1.4.0-2 Primary Rate ISDN specification li ii lib 1.10.2-2+etch1 Portable Windows Library ii lib 0.5.3-2 Enhanced RADIUS client library ii lib 2.1.22.dfsg1-8 Authentication abstraction library ii lib 1.2.11-8 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii lib 1:2.10.1-3 library to read temperature/voltag ii lib 5.2.3-7 NET SNMP (Simple Network Managemen ii lib 1.1.12-3 The Speex Speech Codec ii lib 2.8.17-2 SQLite shared library ii lib 0.9.8c-4etch1 SSL shared libraries ii lib 4.1.1-21 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii lib 1:1.4.1~dfsg-3 tonezone library (runtime) ii lib 1.1.2.dfsg-1.2 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii lib 1.1.2.dfsg-1.2 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii lib 7.6.dbs-13 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii uni 2.2.11-13 ODBC tools libraries ii zli 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime asterisk recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
