On a similar topic, whilst it is possible to build and use Asterisk
without the port, it would be useful to to add an asterisk-head port,
allowing the src to be retrieved by cvs from -head, and built, rather
than necessarily having to use integration milestones.

Excellent question. I can't find any FreeBSD ports that grab a cvs-head
rather than a snapshot archive. -- Perhaps because it's necessary to
freeze changes for the sake of finishing each release.
I think that focusing on FreeBSD support in asterisk-current would
enhance the quality of the FreeBSD support, because it increases the
visibility of the impact of design changes, interface changes etc.
Still, the motivation to consider these is naturally tempered by many
other priorities, especially given the size of the Linux market and
existing customer base on Linux.
Regardless of what our individual priorities are, there is a difficult
balancing act performed by the asterisk bug meisters in fostering
quality of the various ports. Closer collaboration with the asterisk
bug meisters is the key, I believe. I wonder, what, if anything, they
or the various FreeBSD people would envision that isn't being done?

Grabbing from CVS would be against the entire purpose of ports. Ports
are meant to be patched to compile and integrate into the system
perfectly, as well as they are made to be a -working copy of the
application. Basicing a port on code that changes dynamically wouldn't
be a good idea. People expect ports to work, and we all know that HEAD
doesn't always work.

in trying to find a balance between the asterisk development philosophy and
freebsd's development/release philosophy, i think it'd be better if we only
released (via the ports mechanism) tested and working freezed snapshots of
asterisk stable. there could be another port, asterisk-head for eg, which
pulls down a tarball of cvs-head and is marked as a bleeding edge version.
the tarballs can be produced on a weekly basis.

a bigger issue, imo, is the disjoint between the zaptel drivers on linux
and the zaptel drivers on freebsd.
also, i think that we (the asterisk freebsd folk) should take advantage of
this mailing list for more communicative messages. until this thread, i
kept a copy of asterisk 1.0.2 and my own set of patches which made it
build/compile on freebsd 4.10 myself. i didnt know that the ports version
had been bumped up to 1.0.2 either. at the same time, i've still yet to
receive a copy of the zaptel drivers for the TE410P/TE405P quad-E1 cards. i
beleive a little more cooperation here is crucial to making asterisk more
freebsd-friendly.

Have you filed a bug report on it? I just trolled the

think filing a bug report via pr for freebsd ports would alert the
maintainer of improper ports build.

While on topic of FreeBSD port maturity - just tried to make the
/usr/ports/net/asterisk - it compiles now ok with h323 channel - the
pwlib compile errors from past week are gone.
just my 2 cents,

i'd disagree with this though. i am running * on freebsd 4.10 in a number
of productions systems and everything works fine from meetme with ztdummy
to IAX trunking and the like. i'm using 1.0.2 with patches for a clean
build on 4.x and i think it's pretty stable. what needs work is the zaptel
drivers and better support for the digium cards on freebsd.

On fresh 5.3 instalation there is no problem with compiling
/usr/ports/net/asterisk (1.0.2). Just: make && make install && make clean

There is really no reason to use ports when running FreeBSD asterisk.
Just grab the latest from the cvs and compile it. It should compile
without much modification just fine. The only thing that doesn't
compile straight from the CVS is the zaptel drivers, which you do need
to get those from ports. For some reason the guys freebsd mods are not
incorporated into the latest cvs.
Oh on another note the other thing that did not work on FreeBSD was the
g729 codecs, however i think i got mark the code he needs to make that
work as well, so h opefully any day now we might see g729 on freebsd as
well :)

Looks like the port got bumped up to 1.0.3. Now we can have fax support (a
hack or two might be required). Thanks, sobomax@FreeBSD.org!

What about the driver? I tried the .8 on that came with ports and it
didn't work with my new TDM04B card, but installing on linux and using
the latest 1.0.3 drivers worked like a charm. Is there any word on
updated drivers?
