Asterisk package/plugin

[tamer]

Hi,

I was wondering whether there is a pkg/plugin for asterisk (or any other SIP client for that matter).  I ask as I have a VoIP with my ISP but they block connections if they do not originate from the router that's connected to their network, which prevents me from using my phone. I have tried to compile asterisk on the router, but currently there's a problem in the automake pkg so I wasn't able to compile it.

Hi tamer,

I don't know about automake (installs fine here, could your disk be full?), but which version of asterisk are you looking for? Maybe we can add it to the available binary package list.

And, no, there was no work done on a plugin yet, but this would be welcome. :)


Cheers,
Franco

asterisk is available for freebsd

Install fails, dunno why..

The FreeBSD mirror is turned of for safety reasons. I can't guarantee this will work, but one could do:

# pkg add http://distcache.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/asterisk18-1.8.32.3_3.txz

Hi Franco,

I think you might be onto something here; I suspect that there's a problem with the drive (it's not full though). I'm investigating this issue as the router just went down and isn't starting up again after seeing some DMA errors.

Regarding asterisk: it doesn't matter (the newer the better, easier to support?) I just need a SIP client/server. Having said that it isn't a deal breaker for me for whichever version you opt for (whether it's 1.8 or 12 or 13). I'll try the suggestions as soon as I can get the router back up.

Thanks for the great work on this project! ;D

Best,
Tamer

Hi Tamer,

Probably going to add the package for version 13 then. I can't promise that for 16.1.1, because that's out on Monday already.


Cheers,
Franco

Wow! That's fast (even if it misses 16.1.1)!! Thank you very much!  ;D

You can install asterisk13 from the console in 16.1.1:

# pkg install asterisk13
