I don't use sipxecs-setup-system, just sipxecs-setup.
DNS/DHCP/FTP/TFTP will/should be up to you for source installs.

you're right.  Ignore the "sipx" ones for now.

FYI: I think the deps management needs to be reconsidered. Parsing the
spec files can be problematic and prone to incorrect results but it
was all I had time for at the moment.  We may need to invent a
explicit specification to declare project dependencies independent of
the spec files.

I think you're ok.  Dependencies should be installed via rpms when
they are available, which luckily they now are for centos 6 on
sipfoundry.  if ever you need to install a deps via source and not the
RPM, that should be possible too.  In those case you often have to run
./configure --help in each project to see if it accepts directory
paths to find where you installed a particular dependency.

sorry, I didn't realize you were trying to build/install source.  Yes
the README needs updating and although I would welcome an updated
README, I suspect I would need to go thru it myself to ensure best
practices are followed.    There are only placeholders for
instructions on wiki as well.

Thanks for speaking up, helps me realize what pieces are missing.
