This is awesome. Until now our beloved app_rpt was installed and updated in a rather arcane manner. That is, the source was downloaded, compiled, built and then installed. Some of you lucky folks know the error prone process of ./configure; make; make install. Sure there was a script that automated that, but even so it was slow and clunky. No more; apt-get update apt_rpt takes all of that way. And, if you want, you can still download the source and modify it to you needs.

Way to go, Steve! Thank you for hard work and for doing software distribution the right way.

We are happy to announce AllStarLink Asterisk version 1.01. This updated version contains a number of bug fixes and enhancements. The method used for installing and upgrading AllStarLink Asterisk has been changed from building from source code to simply install and upgrade the programs that make up AllStarLink Asterisk. AllStarLink Asterisk is now using the same update method any other Debian program has used for years. The package management system is called APT (acronym for Advanced Package Tool). APT is a set of tools for managing Debian packages, and therefore the applications installed on your Debian system.

The link on allstarlink.org and the wiki <wiki.allstarlink.org> Now point to the new images for x86/AMD and Raspberry Pi.
