I'm just running a build of the 6 scenarios I mentioned earlier (i need at least 3 of them, so why not?)

Hi Cal,<br>
<br>
It looks like others did rather well at answering these, so I'll just<br>
fill in some points.<br>

</div>It works fine with pbuilder and cowbuilder. If you take a look at the<br>
util.sh script, which is what I use to do the builds, you'll see I use<br>
cowbuilder there as well.<br>

</div>You may not have noticed there are meta packages. If you install<br>
freeswitch-meta-all you'll get everything pulled in.<br>

<br>
</div>Yes, that's exactly how it works.<br>

</div>Please also be sure to read debian/README.{Debian,source}.<br>
