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. 73 Stephen K1LNX On Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 5:10 PM, <hwstar@rodgers.sdcoxmail.com> wrote:

Subject: [App_rpt-users] Location of source code for usbradio.c and xpmr
bits please ?
Hi all,
I started adding app_rpt into an asterisk system here at the end of last
year, then other things
kept me away from asterisk other than maintaining my home phone system !.
Now I have a little more time (before the next calamity!) I thought I'd
pick up where I left off
But I dont want a turnkey distro at this stage I have app_rpt.c and the
digium sources I just want to add
usbradio.c and the "xpmr" folder files onto my "development" asterisk
box for a "play".
I looked over the site, and couldnt find a link,
I googled around a lot and found the code in HTML format (with line
numbers) but couldn't find the raw source.
Where do I get these sources these days please ? I cant see a link to a
CVS tree either

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 http://app-rpt.qrvc.com Steve WA6ZFT No virus found in this outgoing message.
