I sadly currently don't own a GPGPU-capable graphics card. You can contact me if you need any help with your packages. Best regards, Paulo Matias
[aur-general] What's goin on with Asterisk on Arch Linux?
Hi everyone... Today i decided to start creating the [1]OpenR2 package for Arch Linux. OpenR2 is a library that implements the MFC/R2 telephony signaling protocol over E1 lines. Along with the library, branches for Asterisk are provided with MFC/R2 support in chan_zap. Well done, as my first move i decided to check in AUR if someone else had already thought about this package. The package isn't there. Great. So, I decided to take a look at our repos and search for asterisk. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ sudo pacman -Ss asterisk Senha: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ I realized that we don't have asterisk in our "pacman". I can't believe it. Asterisk is such an important package. I saw it on AUR. How can we have the package into our "regular" repos? Only if a TU addopt it?

But I don't really understand why it is such an important package, it only has 19 votes which doesn't indicate that it is a very popular package. Ronald

Re: [aur-general] What's goin on with Asterisk on Arch Linux?
Well, it's such a nice package. It's de world's leading open source PBX toolkit. Very popular and powerfull. Thanks for your answer...

I dont know much people using Arch as a production server. Maybe this is the reason why asterisk is not so popular in Arch. -- Hugo
Re: [aur-general] What's goin on with Asterisk on Arch Linux?
I don't think i'm ready yet... I'm new in arch community, but i'm trying to start my packages to AUR...maybe some day i'll feel ready for it. 2008/9/25 Daenyth Blank <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> > >How can we have the > > package into our "regular" repos?

Re: [aur-general] Plans for packages in community
About sage-mathematics: It includes lots of libraries like lapack as well within the tarball, and the default installation procedure tries to build from its own lapack instead of using the system lapack. Building sage-mathematics would require us to properly identify the core components of sage which are not packaged separately (that's how it's being packaged for Debian [1] [2]): [1]: http://wiki.sagemath.org/DebianSAGE [2]: http://groups.google.com/group/debian-sage -- Abhishek Dasgupta
