Topic: SAIL greetings and other stuff

[SARK devs]

Hello,

More recently we've seen problems regarding SAIL Greetings, DISA and CALLBACK and they all point back to the same problem.  Sometime around Asterisk 1.4.28/29 the ATrpms Asterisk rpms started to turn up with /usr/share/asterisk as the directory path for Asterisk data.  At the time we believed that this was a Digium change but it now looks as though it may have been an ATrpms change.  Whatever the truth, it has caused us some problems.   Today we put another fix into 2.2.4 to cover a corner case to do with greetings and normally we would also ripple this forward into 2.4 and 2.5.   

To simplify things, we've decided to discontinue 2.4/2.5 and amlagamate them into a single 2.6 release.  We've also updated and simplified the installation instructions on the Wiki.  2.6 has been tested with Digium's own CentOS 5 rpms and we've put up a section on how to install them onto SME 8.

There will be three releases going forward -

sail-2.2 which runs with Asterisk 1.4.21 on SME 7.4/7.5
sail-2.6 which runs with Asterisk 1.4.30+ on SME 8.0
sail-3.x which runs with Asterisk 1.4.30+ on SME 8.0

You can read up on it in the wiki.

If you are having issues with Greetings, DISA or CALLBACK you can either

for SME 7.x users - install 2.2.4-50 which is available now but very new, or you can regress to 2.2.4-40. 

OR

for SME 8.x users - install 2.6.1-2 (very new but based upon the 2.2.4 AGI)

Please note that all of these releases expect the Asterisk data files to be in /var/lib/asterisk.   

If you have time and a spare machine then we would appreciate it if you could help verify our 2.6 asterisk/sail install notes by doing a test installation.

Kind Regards

S

Hi S.
What prevents one from running the latest sail point release (3.x) on 7.5?
My asterisk is compiled from source:

Code: [Select]

[root@v4 root]# asterisk -r
Asterisk 1.4.35, Copyright (C) 1999 - 2010 Digium, Inc. and others.
=========================================================================
Connected to Asterisk 1.4.35 currently running on v4 (pid = 10887)
2.5 complains that I don't have the right package:

Code: [Select]

Error: Missing Dependency: asterisk14 >= 1.4.29 is needed by package sail
2.6 complains about smeserver-support:

Code: [Select]

Error: Missing Dependency: smeserver-support >= 2.2 is needed by package sail

Hi

2.5 and 2.6 require Asterisk releases better than 1.4.29 AND SME Server 8.   

You can override the dependencies and you may get either of them to run under 7.5.   I would choose 2.6.  Also do a test yum install and make a note of all of the dependencies because you will need to download them manually. 

If you wait just a little while, we will shortly release sail-3.1.  This does not have the same dependency requirements that 2.x and 3.0 have.  It may be easier to backport to 7.x of SME, although it has only been tested under SME 8 up to now.

Kind Regards
S
