[Asterisk-Users] So many Asterisk Patches - Which do I choose and use?

[Paul Rodan]

Ok,

 

I usually use the latest stable CVS, with no patches or modifications. If
figured if there was a worthwhile patch, Mark would have already included
it. However, there was that neat patch about being able to press a certain
key and it'd begin recording in mid-stream, that was an awesome feature and
I patched my latest features.c file with that patch. But I keep seeing
mentions of other patches, specifically something about the MOH patch, the
BRISTUFFED patch, and now I'm hearing about a "Super Parking Lot" patch? For
now I've been using the mpg123 method, it tends to work for me, but if I can
save CPU/RAM and other troubles by using another format, which one do I go
with? What is BRISTUFFED? And if I'm right, the super parking lot patch
allows for call parking based on context, a way to break it apart, instead
of making it universal across the whole system (where can I find this
patch)? 

 

So I'm going to ask the question, if I were to install the latest CVS Stable
tonight, which patches should I install on it before compiling? Also, I'm
using Gentoo Linux, with the 2.4.26-r9 gentoo kernel. I've seen issues with
people making Asterisk work perfectly with the 2.6 kernel so I've stayed
clear of it, but I still see people fighting to make it work and such, I saw
one post a while back about the benefits using Asterisk w/ the 2.6 kernel,
can somebody please refresh my memory? What are the benefits of using
Asterisk with the 2.6 kernel? I'm trying to get the most out of my system. 

 

Any help in making tonights compile/upgrade go perfect would be greatly
appreciated. 

 

Thanks,

Paul
