The source is not available. At this time, there is no legal g729 codec or any known chan_skype or this fax channel that is available for Astlinux. We continue to work with Digium to convince them to compile a binary, but they have been unwilling to do so at this point due to support issues and the requirement to compile new versions if/when they make changes or we make certain changes to Astlinux. If there were enough demand, Digium might make a business decision to provide the binaries. Time will tell, but based on past history, don't hold your breathe.

Most probably yes, they wont work as they don't provide binaries compiled against uClibc. It's the same problem with g729 channel, chan_skype and every other binary distributed by that company. On the technical side, you could probably find some way to run them, considering you have the code to compile or an alternative compiled version like the uclibc g729. The legal issues involved are a completely different matter, and as as far as I know, the Astlinux proyect won't distribute anything not legal (I totally agree).

Re: [Astlinux-users] Digium's New Fax Stuff
I just came across Fax for Asterisk. It is free for a single channel. Are you saying that the binaries that digium provide for download will not work with Astlinux ?

It will require a binary blob the same as codec_g729.so which we've been lobbying for several years. Basically Digium won't do it unless there are enough people from the Astlinux community who would use it to justify their resources. We've made several offers to provide a build environment, but so far, it's WAY down on their list if it ever will happen. I would definitely not hold your breath. I guess Kevin Fleming is the person who needs to be convinced there is a need/demand. I have not had a chance to contact him directly, but had been working through Jared Smith and later John Todd. When I get a chance, I'll write something to Kevin regarding each of these binary blobs. The g729 stuff is the one that burns me the most personally because we did gather a fairly significant number of signatures several years back and I personally bought several license to be used with Astlinux when they did provide the binary for Asterisk 1.2. So obviously, they CAN do it, but are currently choosing not to for one reason or another. The chan_skype stuff looks interesting (as does the fax stuff to a lesser degree for me).
