[Freeswitch-users] Debian repository out of date

[Michael Jerris]

Thats correct, every time someone comes around suggesting we get package in the distro repos, I mention this needs to get done first and if someone wants to do the work on that then we can discuss what else is necessary to get packages upstream, and them everyone realizes its a lot of work and wanders off without offering to help, so it probably will never happen.  I'm not sure it actually adds any value anyways.
