Stolen from an email from Ken. 

"If you need to switch between branches, you _must_ git clean -fdx and rm all
the existing binaries in your existing FreeSWITCH install for the mod lib
and bin directories or you will most likely end up with build skew and crazy
weird segfaults..."

I think it is possible to install while freeswitch is running, but highly advised against. Just do it at a 3am maintenance outage. You should be able to run the bootstrap and configure before you shutdown your FS server to reduce downtime. 

On the base rackspace cloud instance (512mb version), it takes about 10 min total from shutdown to startup of FS.

Hi,

 

I want to switch from the stable release version to the git head and rebuild in hopes of ridding myself of the delay in connection of the audio.  On almost all my calls I must hesitate about 1 second before saying hello or the caller does not hear me.  I have seen many discussions saying that this is probably fixed in the git root.  So here are my questions:

 

The procedure appears to be:

Log in to root

cd /usr/local/src/freeswitch

git checkout master

Which responds: Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin.

                                  Switched to a new branch 'master'

Then just:

make current

 

Is that correct?

Do I need to stop the running FS while running this?

If so, how long will I be down?  (ball park it)

 

I realize this is a RTFM kind of question, but I can’t risk an outage.  I need confirmation from someone who understands.

 

Thanks,

Sean
