I tried building the set of debian packages after adding the patch for freetdm - had to add some build dependencies. BUT it never built most of the packages and most of the freeswitch-mod-??? are missing. So I ran it again without the patch - no joy. I suppose there are other bits broken in the debian directory? So I have 38 packages instead of the 286 packages in the repository. I'm thinking in the current era of 4 terrebyte drives, there is little reason to break things down into so many packages. I would imagine just a few would do. I would suggest a similar approach as is done with exim - a minimal system - with a few libs and a second package to max out all the features, In the mean time - I've run into so many unexpected problems with the digium card and freetdm - (the lack of a sane configuration, documentation etc) that I ordered a grandstream box for fxo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Schmidt EMail Karl@xtronics.com Transtronics, Inc.
