[App_rpt-users] AllStarLink - pre-alpha port to Asterisk 1.8.3.32

[Stacy]

All,
I've finally decided to put the code I was working with to port the 
AllStarLink modules from the current Asterisk 1.4.23-pre to 1.8.32.3 on 
Github in my repository.

Note that this is very very pre alpha code, and while it will compile 
and run (I'm currently running my test node of 42088 with it and have it 
listening on the WINSystem) there are quirks and bugs with it that will 
frustrate you and prevent it from running right.

My Github repository for this is at: 
https://github.com/KG7QIN/AllStarLink-Asterisk-1.8

This is the source code only, there are no pre-compiled packages here to 
download and run.  You must know how to compile Asterisk 1.8.32.3 from 
source to be able to compile and use this code.

Due to how some things changed between 1.4 and 1.8, you cannot just take 
the AllStarLink modules, compile them and drop them into an existing 1.8 
installation and expect them to run right.  They will load into 
Asterisk, but app_rpt will not run correctly.

The README.md file lists some things with this code, and also tells what 
modules have been ported (most have, but a few still remain).

I'm releasing this in the hopes to help move AllStarLink forward with 
the eventual hope that it can be ported to Asterisk 13 (consider this a 
waypoint or gateway release towards that goal).

Anyways, feel free to test this.

I'm open to collaborators on this.

And please use the bug reporting system for the repository on Github for 
reporting anything with this.  We don't really want to kill this mailing 
list with reports for a currently unofficial port of the AllStarLink 
modules.

Thanks.
