Personally I *HATE* software releases like this (just a symlink to the latest) -- you download -current.tgz and in 1 week have no idea what version it is. You can't untar it because it untars to asterisk/ (again no version info, not even asterisk-current/) and is just a generally messy way to do things. If -current.tgz untarred to asterisk-1.2.9.1/ or something it'd be much better. Personally I am a fan of the directory structure having the latest in root and an old_releases/ or archive/ directory with all the old ones. -A. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-dev mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev
