This patchset is Asterisk version specific and therefore causes significant delays in updating the FreeBSD port of the fast-moving Asterisk project. The bristuff patches are only of significant use to a subsection of Asterisk users (mainly European users where ISDN-2/ Basic-Rate ISDN is more common, and then only to those who actually want to use it with BRI). >How-To-Repeat: Asterisk is at the time of filing this PR at 1.2.7.1 The FreeBSD port is at 1.2.4 >Fix: I suggest a repo-copy of net/asterisk to net/asterisk-bristuff and of misc/libpri to misc/libpri-bristuff (this would mirror the approach taken by at least one Linux distribution, Debian). The "old" net/asterisk and misc/libpri ports could then have the bristuff patches removed and be updated in a timely fashion to follow the asterisk release sequence, whilst the -bristuff versions would continue to be maintained as now. I would be willing to take over as maintainer of the non-bristuff ports if the existing maintainer (sobomax) were not willing to maintain the parallel versions. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
