    Package: asterisk
    Version: 1:0.9.1+1.0RC1-4
    Severity: wishlist

    Hello,
    version 1.0RC2 is out, since I have a lot of problems with debian
    release of asterisk that seems ok with hand compiled CVS release, before reporting them I would prefer to check latest release.

    Thanks,
    Alex

    Hi Alessandro,

    version 1.0RC2 is out, since I have a lot of problems with debian
    release of asterisk that seems ok with hand compiled CVS release, before reporting them I would prefer to check latest release.

    could you maybe be a bit more specific about what "a lot of problems"
    is? And maybe in which way they're fixed now?
    We're pretty close to a release now and moving over to a new codebase is
    only making sense if this is gave errors. Else, we'll be happy to bump
    the version after the SARGE release.

    Ok, sorry for being so generic.

    What I remember right now is:
    - ISDN modems using the i4l interface (hisax driver) does not work at
    all on debian release (you get an error like "can't open /dev/ttyI0")
    - zaptel drivers and chan_zap gives some strange errors on TE405P cabled
    to E1's and legacy PBX (I've not completely solved the problem, tough)
    - Latest release has also licensed mp3 files for WaitOnHold that are
    really useful
    - something minor I don't remember right now, but that I'll check to
    report you as soon as I solve all my remaining problems (mainly related
    to tone detection on isdn channels)

    Also there are some limitations on the startup script provided in
    /etc/rc.d/ (I suppose it would be better another bug report for that).
    The problems I remember are:
    - "/etc/init.d/asterisk restart" does not work if asterisk is stopped
    - "/etc/init.d/asterisk start" gives no (correct) feedback if asterisk
    is unable to start

    Thanks,
    Alex

    Hi Alessandro,

    What I remember right now is:
    - ISDN modems using the i4l interface (hisax driver) does not work at
    all on debian release (you get an error like "can't open /dev/ttyI0")

    ISDN has ever had problems and chan_capi was rolled out as the quality
    of chan_capi is much superior to the chan_i4l one. So whenever you can,
    use a CAPI driver or mISDN with chan_capi. I'll look into the new
    chan_i4l, yet that's nothing to be rolled out too quickly without
    testing.

    - zaptel drivers and chan_zap gives some strange errors on TE405P cabled
    to E1's and legacy PBX (I've not completely solved the problem, tough)

    if the problem isn't completely solved, waiting till it is sounds like a
    good idea ;)

    - Latest release has also licensed mp3 files for WaitOnHold that are
    really useful

    licensed mp3 are not free (as their adjective already tells), so we
    couldn't ship it anyway. Could you please specify which one this is, so
    we can take care of this? Is any of the current asterisk-sounds
    licensed?

    - something minor I don't remember right now, but that I'll check to
    report you as soon as I solve all my remaining problems (mainly related
    to tone detection on isdn channels)

    Also there are some limitations on the startup script provided in
    /etc/rc.d/ (I suppose it would be better another bug report for that).
    The problems I remember are:
    - "/etc/init.d/asterisk restart" does not work if asterisk is stopped
    - "/etc/init.d/asterisk start" gives no (correct) feedback if asterisk
    is unable to start

    yep, that's bug #263879 very probably. Something to look into after the
    release too.
