[App_rpt-users] Location of source code for usbradio.c and xpmr bits please ?

Tue Jun 30 13:44:14 UTC 2009

Well, i dont know about that. 

In our experience with Limey Linux (very small footprint) there is still room for a mostly complete distro.
On a host, there is plenty of disk space.

I realize that these distros are mainly for radio/repeater use, BUT that not all they are used for. I know
someone (DMK, the URI dude, actually) that just got a Limey Linux box running as his phone system (I know,
I had to get mpg123 compiled for it for his music on hold). I had him noload the app_rpt and chan_usbradio
modules, and it really does make a nice small CHEAP phone system. 

So I think that keeping this stuff as generally useful as possible is the best thing.

Just my opinion..

Steve/group, 
     With all that being said (asterisk forked), what could we strip out and still have core functionality strictly from the radio and allstar network access aspect? My app_rpt install is solely for this project alone, I entertained the idea of turning it into a full fledged PBX, but your right it can cause problems and I think I am better off with a stand alone install for that. 

I'm not sure how much interest or what level of work an undertaking like that would take, but to have a slimmed down Asterisk version specifically for this project would be a great idea.

Your strategy is not advised. For two reasons.

--one--

The latest Digium sources are not compatible with app_rpt and the usb driver, Getting Digium to incorporate our changes to fix this has been next to impossible.

Our solution was to use a patched copy of asterisk 1.4.23-pre and build our system off of that. Yes, we have technically forked Asterisk, but we had no choice.

--two-

Running a radio system and a phone system off of the same box is just asking for trouble. If the radio system goes down, so does your phone system. I learned this one the hard way a few years ago when my system was configured in this manner. I now run two separate servers to avoid getting complaints form family members when my experiments

on the radio system go amok. Also, the phone system works much better with DTMF_RELAX configured to be disabled.

The sources for the version of Asterisk with all necessary patches and the latest app_rpt.c and usb channel driver are available via SVN from the developers section of my site at
