My personal view is that distro packaging for Freeswitch, Asterisk, Kamailio, and most OSS VoIP elements is unreliable, inconsistent and lopsided, so the only viable approach is to build these things from source, always. This allows one to maintain granular version controland to apply ‎patches as needed.

If you just forget packaging and learn to love the source, you'll obviate a vast category of problems and not waste time on fighting with packages. It also has the positive side effect that you can support pretty much any server distribution. Debian, CentOS, RHEL, Ubuntu server, who cares?
