[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (DAHLIN-382) Broken build for Linux ≥ 4.7 with netdev support enabled

[Alexei A Smekalkine (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/DAHLIN-382?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=251945#comment-251945 ] 

Alexei A Smekalkine commented on DAHLIN-382:
--------------------------------------------

bq. I couldn't find any description anywhere

Me too.This is why the patch from January last year only appeared here a week ago.

Projects dahdi-linux and dahdi-tools are almost not supported or developed. Repositories on GitHub are mirrors of such on git.asterisk.org, changes to which arrive with a delay of several months: even a release is not a reason for mirroring. So you can wait even longer on GitHub then here.

P.S. I have a whole series of fixes to work netdev on DAHDI accumulated over the past four years and used in production.
