Stuart, Since this is a mailing list I am going to talk to some other people to save time on mutiple emails, excuse me a minute:
Roman, Here is the downside to your suggestion, this guy is unhappy just because he *thinks* we keep his code in our tree.
I sort of disagree. I believe that this guys is unhappy because what we have in FreeSwitch now is kind of worst of both worlds -- we don't really want to rely on preinstalled and prepackaged libraries available on the system, yet we also don't want to bite the bullet and privatize the code. Personally, I think this is one of the greatest myth of OpenSource that all you have to do in order to build a reliable package is: ./configure && make && make install. What we currently have in FreeSwith is an attempt to rely on that. I've used to do lots of packaging for Solaris and believe me -- there's not much else I hate more than autotools complexity. :-( Anyway, it looks like my proposal doesn't really resonate with lots of folks here, which means I have to come up with extra benefits. My angle would be a performance one. Stay tuned... Thanks, Roman.
