[asterisk-scf-dev] Packaging and AsteriskSCF

[Paul Belanger]

Greeting!

I had some free time this weekend, so I decided to look and see what was 
required to package some of the dependencies use by AsteriskSCF.

I decided to start with zeroc-ice, since this package already exists 
upstream in Debian unstable.  Right now Debian support 3.4.1, talking to 
the maintainer of the package 3.4.2 should be release this week.  So I 
spend a few hour on Friday night / Saturday morning, packaging[1] 3.4.2.

Now that zeroc-ice 3.4.2 was packaged, I then create a tarball from the 
Digium version of ice in git and started work to package it.  Again, 
after a few hours of hacking I've successfully created zeroc-ice 
packages from the version in the Digium git repo. :)

There we're some differences in java/build.xml between the two versions, 
however I've patched the Digium version and reverted some changes to 
icegridadmin.

ATM I've only created packages for Debian unstable, it should not be 
hard to port them to Ubuntu Oneiric.  Ideally, when I have more time, 
I'd like to backport the package into Debian Squeeze / Wheezy and Ubuntu 
Lucid, Maverick and Natty.
