[Freeswitch-dev] is there any info abount which git tag/ Freeswitch release is stable?

Hi, I work for a company selling call tracking services, and we have recently put into production a 3 node Freeswitch cluster to use features such as call recording and call announce. We are using the event socket feature to control freeswitch from our custom written service. I have found Freeswitch a pleasure to use, and much easier to get along with than Asterisk. However one thing that has concerned me is the lack of regular point-in-time releases. When putting services in production, we use RPMs to allow us to easily upgrade (and if need be rollback) software versions. The 1.07 version available at http://latest.freeswitch.org seems to be rebuilt each night, does this mean that a 1.07 built yesterday is different from one built today? If I can offer any assistance with the automation of point-in-time tagged releases I would be happy to help, as I feel this would make Freeswitch more attractive to commercial operations as it would easily fit into well defined release processes. Thanks Tom

Guys, here is a little bit of critics, There is no info - what version of freeswitch should be used in production. the wiki pages http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide#Linux_and_Unix says that latest GIT is "very" stable, but in 5 pulls i did, 2 times I immediately hit regressions: first time - non working DNS resolver in mod_sofia second - broken ESL outbound (as of this night) at the same time, it's mentioned that 1.0.6 is not the "latest stable" anymore, but in files, there is only 1.0.6 so it would be very helpful if there is some way to find out, what is the latest GIT tag or release could be downloaded to be usable, it's just not possible while in development, to have GIT always stable. None can do it, so there really should be atleast "testing" tag/brunch, which is known working over serveral weeks (debian testing can be an example) Hope this piece of critics not insults anyone, FS is a great stuff, Regards, Anton.

Hi Giovanni, Seems you do not support yet 2.6.36 kernel? Could you please have a look, maybe it needs a trivial change to compile under 2.6.36 ? root@lab3:/usr/src/freeswitch/src/mod/endpoints/mod_skypopen/oss# make make -C /lib/modules/2.6.36.4/build M=/usr/src/freeswitch/src/mod/endpoints/mod_skypopen/oss LDDINC=/usr/src/freeswitch/src/mod/endpoints/mod_skypopen/oss/../include modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.36.4' CC [M] /usr/src/freeswitch/src/mod/endpoints/mod_skypopen/oss/main.o /usr/src/freeswitch/src/mod/endpoints/mod_skypopen/oss/main.c:315: error: unknown field ‘ioctl’ specified in initializer /usr/src/freeswitch/src/mod/endpoints/mod_skypopen/oss/main.c:315: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type make[2]: *** [/usr/src/freeswitch/src/mod/endpoints/mod_skypopen/oss/main.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/usr/src/freeswitch/src/mod/endpoints/mod_skypopen/oss] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.36.4' make: *** [modules] Error 2 Sincerely, Anton.

There have been efforts to get FreeSWITCH packages inside Debian, but I think the biggest issues are how to built it against separately packaged libraries rather than using in-tree libraries. http://bugs.debian.org/389591 Regards,

Debian dies Not accept packages without versions. Git releases are not accepted Gesendet mit meinem HTC ----- Reply message ----- Von: "Anton VG" <anton.vazir(a)gmail.com> An: <freeswitch-dev(a)lists.freeswitch.org> Betreff: [Freeswitch-dev] is there any info abount which git tag/ Freeswitch release is stable? Datum: So., Mai. 8, 2011 10:38 João, your point is clear, and for sure it is very impressive, what work can be done by that modest number of developers. Don't get me wrong, there was no intention to sound "demanding", just thoughts. I myself watching FS progress from the moment Anthony have announced it. FS do not have backing company as some other, this makes some things a little more difficult But I trust it would be in a great benefit for FS to gain bigger community, and little more organization would not bother... Though it requires men power, which seems is just not enough for the moment. BTW, somehow strange, FS is not included to Debian distro, not even in UNSTABLE, although, FS support a debian build out of GIT with no extra work. Just Debian is one of the most recognized distro for servers, and having FS included would add to it's popularity quite sufficiently. Is there no willing maintainer or some other reason?

[Freeswitch-dev] FreeSWITCH Cookbook: resources
by Michael Collins 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hello all! The response to my request for reviewers is overwhelming - thank you so much! We have more than enough reviewers. However, any of you who wish to read the draft and offer feedback are still welcome to do so. You just won't be "official" Packt reviewers. I'd like to focus attention on testing resources. For those of you who have data center resources and such I would like to ask for your assistance. It would be helpful to have a spare server (low power == okay, cuz it's only for a few simultaneous calls max) with a DID & public IP address. This will help us test various scenarios and make sure that we can do box2box and NAT scenarios. Please contact me off list if you have any servers, DIDs, etc. that could be used for this purpose. Thanks again to everyone who has volunteered to help! I would much rather have to sift through dozens of emails from people who want to help than have to keep begging and have no one step up. ;) You guys are awesome - keep up the good work. -MC
