[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (DAHLIN-368) DAHDI fails to build against kernel 5.0

Malcolm Davenport commented on DAHLIN-368:
------------------------------------------

The Sangoma A200 is a supported option.  I don't know the exact bundling SKU you'd want there.  We're now in the land of sales questions.

That particular link points to the A4B PCIe card that is bundled with four FXO (connect to lines from your telco that come into your office..that line could be the telephone set port on a cable modem) module and one echo cancellation module.  That'll support four analog lines.

Those companies that aren't Digium or Sangoma simply built knock-offs or created outright clones.  The drivers that those knock-offs use are drivers that we originally wrote for our cards - we didn't write them for anyone else's cards.  We quit selling those older models of our cards years (a decade) ago.  We don't support or test or manufacture those older cards any more.  There's no benefit to us carrying those drivers forward.  

Those companies that aren't Digium and Sangoma are companies that do not contribute to the development or support of Asterisk.  They're not writing new features and contributing them.  They're not fixing bugs.  They're existing purely off the hard work of others.  Putting dollars into their coffers diminishes Asterisk.

> Linux kernel 5.0 has changed the timekeeping interfaces to fix the 2038 problem.
> I believe the drivers should be standardized on ktime for internal time, but before making any changes to the app drivers, I was looking for some early feedback on the proposed approach.
> The work is currently at http://git.asterisk.org/gitweb/?p=team/sruffell/dahdi-linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/for-5.0 if anyone has any comments.
