Kevin,<br><br>In this thread the award goes to you for the best suggestion. The devs do all the real work, and the distributions just test and package it ;)<br><br>It's nice to see that everyone is taking their own way to integrate the build of asterisk into their distribution. Lateral thinking is alive and kicking.
<br><br>I'll go with your approach because it allows upstream (which gentoo is a big fan of using as much as possible of) to control the makeopts.file and then the ebuild maintainer can just inject a little more.<br><br>
Thanks for your help. <br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Luke McKee<br>Lintel Systems<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 03/05/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Kevin P. Fleming</b> <<a href="mailto:kpfleming@digium.com">kpfleming@digium.com
