[Freeswitch-users] Build script for Ubuntu 12.04 or Debian

[Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd]]

Please let me know if I'm missing something here but, I'm still not
entirely clear on what the problem is, and this thread doesn't seem to be
going anywhere.

The script provided by Brian isn't going to be at all compatible with
automated build systems, and is just wrapping the same workflow from [2]
and [3]. The builder I wrote on github [1], is one step closer but has
bypassed all of the built-in debian stuff and as such is considered
alpha/deprecated... although it supported a cleaner way of building (using
pbuilder), it ultimately increased complexity and deviated from the
standard way of doing things.

As someone who has attempted to make his own build scripts for FS, I can
tell you now that it is counter-productive and you should stick with the
build system that is currently in master. If you think it can be improved,
then feel free to submit patches. Although I agree that getting to grips
with building FS is not entirely straight forward, packaging is a skill
within itself and there's a reason why finding good package maintainers is
a hard thing to do.

If you are looking for an automated installer, then your best bet is to
build packages and then use something like chef/puppet/salt to control
deployment.

These scripts (much like the one I wrote on github) are just wrapping an
already perfectly functional set of tools, and as shown before, FS compiles
absolutely fine on Wheezy given the command flow I specified before [2]. If
this is not the case then please can you provide full debug logs that show
us where the problem is happening so we can help.
