<div dir="ltr">After a conversation with Rusty last week, I've become aware that for a simple installation of asterisk (11) from the CentOS repositories at <a href="http://packages.asterisk.org/centos/">http://packages.asterisk.org/centos/</a>, the 'current' repo at <a href="http://packages.digium.com/centos">http://packages.digium.com/centos</a> is required to satisfy the dependency of the 'asterisk' package on 'asterisk-dahdi'.<div>
<br></div><div>I understand that there are licensing reasons for this package to not be available from the community repo, and I'm not going to get into the complexity of that, but this situation is rather odd. It's required to add a total of three repos, from two different domains, just to do 'yum install asterisk' and get something from this decade. This seems excessively complex, and likely unnecessary.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is there anything that can be done to simplify this? Is the dependency on asterisk-dahdi really necessary? Is there a reason not to publish the contents of the 'current' repo to all of the 'asterisk-MAJOR' repos, to reduce the required repo-count to 1?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Ben Langfeld</div></div>
