Request: Asterisk 1.2

Libraries may not be backported unless they are not present in the current stable version in the first place (i.e. if they added a new libsomething package to Dapper)

Many thanks for your answers, and sorry, but still, can we do something about that or we will not have asterisk 1.2 in breezy system and will need to wait another half year?

We will not have it in official Backports... With ubp-build.py, you can probably work around it and make asterisk packages for yourself to some level of usability.

I installed asterisk on breezy from dapper and no other libraries or upgrades required. Does that mean correct dependancy tree and stable running? Still then hard to understand why the rules are so strict even on ubuntu

What did you do to get Asterisk working on Ubuntu?

*EDIT* I found this post and will attempt it tonight.

Any progress on this? And getting it to v1.2.1 (http://www.asterisk.org)?

Hi all!

Sorry if this is not right place but, I've used Asterisk before and then I switched to Kubuntu, I'm not an expert in Linux so I gave up building it from sources (there even wasn't "make" by default!)

Them I did this way:

*EDIT* I found this post and will attempt it tonight.

and installed packages with Adept, after downloading it reported an error about missing or broken package, I don't remember exactly.

But anyway Asterisk was reported as installed but of course not working!

*It launches only under root then write warning and quits*

And I don't need new user "asterisk" to work. How to avoid this?

I'll be very thankfull if someone give me any advice on how to install Asterisk on Kubuntu.

I think dependency on mgp123 is broken as asterisk depends exactly on mpg132, not on wrapper to mpg123 from mpg321. I have sent bug report to ubuntu, but it looks like nobody noticed it.

New to linux i have been struggling to install asterisk, through as many ways as been discussed here (though being a newbie who knows what mistakes i am making!), none of them seem to work, so for the moment i am going to have to try Debian?

Please add it to the repository, i am really liking ubuntu.
