[asterisk-dev] Anybody here uses the patch in bug 7767?

[Juan Carlos Castro y Castro]

It's the patch that allows you to do things like:

exten => _4XXX,hint,SIP/${EXTEN}

I've just submitted an update to it so it applies to 1.4.16.1. Waiting 
for the suits to accept my license agreement signature. And lo and 
behold, it does work! But I get strange messages from the channel driver:

[Dec 21 15:30:49] DEBUG[18582] devicestate.c: No provider found, 
checking channel drivers for SIP - ${EXTEN}
[Dec 21 15:30:49] DEBUG[18582] chan_sip.c: Checking device state for 
peer ${EXTEN}

And then the NOTIFY message gets sent correctly. Weird. But my main 
question is: what hope do I have of this patch making it into the 
mainstream?
