I am working on (s)rpms of zaptel/libpri/asterisk/chan_capi for Fedora
Core 4 that I have changed last week to run as user/group
asterisk/asterisk. Once 1.2-rc1 (or whatever the first beta/rc will be
called) is released I will update the (s)rpms and announce them so
people with FC4 boxes can try them out.
