<div>I'm working on packaging FreeSWITCH (including all modules) for Arch Linux, and I'm trying to figure out how to handle mod_h323.<br>
<br>
Following the pointers from src/mod/endpoints/mod_h323/compiling.txt, I see that it consumes code from this project:<br>
<a id="LPlnk176125" href="http://www.h323plus.org/" target="_blank">http://www.h323plus.org/</a><br>
<br>
However, that project appears to be inactive; it hasn't had a release for multiple years (and forum/mailing list activity has nearly ceased as well).<br>
<br>
According to Wikipedia, the parent OpenH323 project (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenH323" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenH323</a>) forked into H323Plus and Open Phone Abstraction Library (OPAL).<br>
<br>
>From the FreeSWITCH documentation, it looks like mod_opal consumes the code from one fork and mod_h323 from the other. The documentation also currently says mod_opal is beta quality, but that statement may be outdated (per the bugs file in its module directory).<br>
<br>
I'm packaging up FreeSWITCH for Arch Linux, which currently doesn't provide H323Plus. I could package up H323Plus for Arch, but if the project is inactive, I'm not sure if that's worthwhile.<br>
<br>
Is it fair to see the H323Plus project as defunct? If so, do you think FreeSWITCH will end up deprecating/removing mod_h323 in favor of mod_opal? Or is mod_h323 currently favored over mod_opal for production-quality H.323 support and thus important for a complete
FreeSWITCH package to provide?<br>
<br>
Also, I thought this was a more dev-focused question, so I tried posting to freeswitch-dev over a week ago. The auto-reply said it was a moderated list and the message was being held pending moderator approval. It said that either the message would get posted
or I would be notified of the moderator's decision, but nothing ever happened. Did this message get stuck in the pending moderator approval list?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
