Brett,
I too just installed a new server from the ACID distro, and it reported 0.257 when asked (I'm going to update tonight). The current on SVN is 0.273; here are the instructions:
Upgrading Asterisk to latest (SVN) version :
cd /usr/src rm -rf astsrc (or move it out of the way to be safe) wget http://x.allstarlink.org/svn-trunk.tar.gz -O- | tar xzv mv trunk astsrc cd astsrc make upgrade-acid
You can also just leave the files on /usr/src/trunk/ since that was the way I always have done it in the past. I never used the update script myself.
Tony
Tony, Thank you for the quick response. I do have one additional question. How do you check the SVN version? I used the steps outlined above, and when I attach to the server and run "core show version" this is what I get: wx9mcs255*CLI> core show version Asterisk built by root @ wx9mcs255 on a i686 running Linux on 2010-11-10 22:20:13 UTC I can't seem to find the SVN revision number. Thank you again. -- 73 K9BY Brett Johnson
