Then, your<br>automation could be writing around it for each distro. As an<br>example, here is how we support dependencies with zuul[2]. Here is<br>an ansible role you could also use[3]</p><p style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">[1] https://docs.openstack.org/infra/bindep/readme.html<br>[2] http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/zuul/tree/bindep.txt<br>[3] http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/zuul-jobs/tree/roles/bindep</p></blockquote><p style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">The point of install_prereq is for end-users to be able to run it on target machines to install what is required to build Asterisk. It looks like end-users would have to install bindep before bindep.txt could be used? What I mean is I'm not seeing anything about generating shell script to be used by end-users. Kind of like how you don't need to install autoconf to run ./configure, autoconf is only required to generate the configure script from configure.ac.</p><ul style="list-style: none; padding-left: 20px;"></ul><p>To view, visit <a href="https://gerrit.asterisk.org/8516">change 8516</a>.
