Asterisk 1.8.1.1 released

[darmock]

Just released. This release seams to have the cdr and gtalk patches built in. But that is all!

We are currently testing it out.

********************************
* IT IS NOT AVAILABLE YET ON PIAF *
* PURPLE PAYLOAD *
********************************

I hope the shouting will enable the hard of reading to understand that we are still testing it out prior to releasing it on an unsuspecting public.

********************************
* IT IS NOT AVAILABLE YET ON PIAF *
* PURPLE PAYLOAD *
********************************

Once our elves have tested it out a new payload will be released which will contain asterisk 1.8.1.1.

Update-source is currently being worked on and once it is available we will let you know.

Competition Is A Wonderful Thing

You've already got exactly the same thing if you recently downloaded PIAF-Purple. Wonder where they got the idea to roll these two patches into a quicky release. :wubb:

Testing continues... A few new wrinkles need to be ironed out Purple with Asterisk 1.8.1.1 is released.

Work progresses on update-source for purple But it is not ready yet.

********************************

********************************

A release may occur sometime on Thursday Dec 16, 2010 not before 2359 Easter Standard Time. This time and date is subject to change. We are getting close.

BTW

Be advised that the PIAF Dev Team classifies PIAF-Purple and Asterisk 1.8 as E-X-P-E-R-I-M-E-N-T-A-L. Remember the Pioneers! If you have a low threshold for pain, if you depend upon your PBX to actually make and receive phone calls, or if you understand the WAF and prefer sleeping with both eyes closed, abort this install now and choose PIAF-Gold, PIAF-Silver, or PIAF-Bronze. Otherwise, enjoy the ride!

[isaacl]

Tom - is it available yet on PIAF Purple?
Just joking, looking forward to the release, thanks for all the hard work as always!!

 

[luckman212]

Out of curiousity, would it be possible (I am not saying advisable) to manually update Asterisk to 1.8.1.1 by checking out the source from Digium into the /usr/src/asterisk directory on the PIAF server? something like:

amportal stop
cd /usr/src
svn checkout http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk/branches/1.8 asterisk
cd /usr/src/asterisk
./configure
make
make install
cd /usr/src/asterisk-flite
make
make install
amportal start

anything wrong with this? does this work (in theory)? I probably got the svn checkout command wrong, I'm pretty sure of that...

 

[wardmundy]

They've replaced the two files we've already replaced in PIAF and Incredible PBX. So... why?

Grrrrrrr

Being overtly pedantic and loud seems to be required as of late due to peoples attention span or ability to read the previous posts.

I must admit I get tired of the "why is it not ready" "where is it" or my favorite "I just installed purple and it is not the 1.8.1.1 release". This time of year my patience is very small. I know get a life etc....



I also despair about the US education system and how it teaches people to perform critical reading and logical analysis <NOT>. As a product of a multiple country education it staggers me how today's students are just not taught these vital skills.

I have taught college and university courses in various countries including the United States and have seen this problem first hand. Too bad....

I hear you Ward, the question was more out of curiosity as far as whether this is even possible to do. Perhaps not now but there may come a time when there's this-or-that patch that's important to me but not a 'showstopper' and thus the payloads might not be updated for a while. Dunno, was just curious!

Tom

I hear you loud and clear - I do some administrative work for a school, and the amount of preventive things we need to put in place for students who don't read things and use logic is astounding...
And just to make it clear, my post was not meant in any way to make fun of your post or all the good work you're doing, you were just kind of asking for someone to post something like that

 

[darmock]

no worries isaacl

Most of the warnings we put in the various programs are directly related to the signal to noise ratio we get from users who don't understand a process. Even with all the messages/warnings some people just don't think....

oh well back to testing

[wardmundy]

It's soup. Asterisk 1.8.1.1 is now the official Purple build.

 

[luckman212]

Thanks Ward!!

for those of us who patched our systems from source using your method from the other thread, is it enough to just do update-source to bring everything up to speed or do we have to do something else?

 

[MisterQ]

Actually, I just tried that and get an interesting result.

status returns
│ PBX in a Flash Version = 1.7.5.5 │
│ FreePBX Version = 2.8.0.4 │
│ Running Asterisk Version = Asterisk 1.8.1 │
│ Asterisk Source Version = 1.8.1.1 │
│ Dahdi Source Version = 2.4.0+2.4.0 │


Note the difference between running version and installed version - getting into the console are doing a "core show version" returns V1.8.1

I am not sure if it hasn't changed of ifthe "running version (either way) doesn't report the last digit.

 

[troycarpenter]

I don't see anything change either. I just did a update-programs and update-source.

Now I see this:
PBX in a Flash Version = 1.7.5.5
FreePBX Version = 2.8.0.4
Running Asterisk Version = Asterisk 1.8.0
Asterisk Source Version = 1.8.1.1
Dahdi Source Version = 2.4.0+2.4.0
Libpri Source Version = 1.4.11.5

And from the asterisk console:

pbx*CLI> core show version
Asterisk 1.8.0 built by root @ pbx.local on a i686 running Linux on 2010-12-11 20:41:20 UTC

That's the date I first installed, not today's date.

 

[darmock]

There seems to be a problem with update-source. try running it a second time and see if that forces it to upgrade. If you look in the update-source log you will see that asterisk did not compile for some reason. You can also after running update-source go to the /usr/src/asterisk folder and run

./configure
make
make install

Beyond that be patient At the moment I have some paying jobs which are demanding my attention. I hope to have this resolved next week sometime.

You can also after running update-source go to the /usr/src/asterisk folder and run

./configure
make
make install

I had the same problem, tried to update-source last night around 11:30PM EST. Anyway, woke up this morning and tried manually compiling as suggested by darmock, and voila:

So i guess the problem is just with the update script, not with the source itself.

I must admit I get tired of the "why is it not ready" "where is it" or my favorite "I just installed purple and it is not the 1.8.1.1 release". This time of year my patience is very small. I know get a life etc....

Tom, perhaps if there was a sticky that informs readers what the current payload is, you would have less of this type of posts that seem to irritate you so much.

Tom

While I agree with your comments, in general, about the US education system, I disagree with your implication that the majority or even the average participant of your forum here are poorly educated. I for one, am also a product of multi-country education system and hold a doctorate degree here in the US. My comment that irritated you so much, "I just installed purple and it is not the 1.8.1", was a result of poor "signal to noise ratio" of the posts on this forum rather than an inability to read.

Most of us here are all excited with the technology that you folks freely provide and teach. Some of us, in our spare time, like to experiment with the bleeding edge of what is being worked on. In our excitement may ask questions that seem inappropriate to you and irritate you. But these questions are not malicious. If you could extend a little more patience and courtesy in your responses, it would show your maturity and class, rather than arrogance.

That's just my 2 cents...

I shall give your views the consideration they deserve.

Stickies are wonderful wish someone would step up and take over posting them.

As for laying our degrees on the line I have five so far and also hold a Doctorate so what?

As for my arrogance you are entitled to your opinion just as I am. I still call it like I see it. Thus the overly detailed response.

You are right, because degrees don't teach you humility and class. It takes one's maturity for that to develop.

Best regards and have a good holiday

Thank you, and I wish a great holiday for you and your family, as well as, to the rest of the PIAF community.
