Why don’t you guys all get together on the FS conf bridge, and lets get everyone working together to get these done in a common way... Hows Say Noon Eastern on Tuesday for 10 Eastern on Wed (an hour before the regular weekly call) to get all you guys in 1 bridge to nail this down.<BR>

<BR>
I've recently released an alternative Debian package builder for FreeSWITCH.<BR>
<BR>
<a href="https://github.com/foxx/freeswitch-debian">https://github.com/foxx/freeswitch-debian</a><BR>
<BR>
Although FreeSWITCH does already have suitable Debian packages (and a builder), it might not be suitable for your needs (and in our specific use case, we required an alternative approach).<BR>
<BR>
Some of the reasons for this might be;<BR>
<BR>
* Build your own packages with custom patches applied<BR>
* Your build system requires an easy to use, 1 command buider<BR>
* Building your own source packages from GIT for security reasons<BR>
* Have a single Debian package to install rather than 100+<BR>
<BR>
It supports the following features;<BR>
<BR>
* Uses 'get-packaged-orig-source' to fetch original source from FreeSWITCH git<BR>
* Builds as non-native, all arch package using quilt 3.0 patching (in accordance with Debian guidelines)<BR>
* Uses start-stop-daemon<BR>
* Uses pbuilder to ensure a clean build<BR>
* Creates 'freeswitch' system user and enforces permissions on FreeSWITCH files<BR>
* Installs into /opt/freeswitch, rather than system dirs<BR>
* Removing/purging package will NOT remove data/logs dir or delete 'freeswitch' system user (in accordance with Debian guidelines)<BR>
* Enforces all necessary dependancies<BR>
<BR>
Usage:<BR>
<BR>
# Replace GIT_REF with the ref from GIT you wish to compile against<BR>
# Replace FS_VERSION with the version of FreeSWITCH we are compiling<BR>
<BR>
$ apt-get install git<BR>
$ git clone <a href="https://github.com/foxx/freeswitch-debian.git">https://github.com/foxx/freeswitch-debian.git</a><BR>
$ cd freeswitch-debian<BR>
$ GIT_REF=master FS_VERSION=1.3.16 make<BR>
<BR>
Hope this helps someone else!<BR>
