[asterisk-users] Asterisk RPM's

[Jay Vocaire]

I am new to Asterisk and have searched all over for an answer to this,
so please don't skewer me too bad if this is a stupid question.  I am
currently running 1.6.0.21 on a few test boxes (one i386, one x64), and
have noticed that there haven't been any RPM updates since .21, even
though .25 just hit.  

What I am wondering about (and please don't assume this is a complaint,
I simply don't know the reasoning) is the lag between the release of the
version and the RPM availability.  Is there something that needs to be
done other than compiling the code?  If so, what is it?

I know that I can just download the code and compile it myself, and I
have done that, but obviously it is simply easier to use yum.  So I am
merely curious what the process is, so that in the future, I have an
idea of how long I will need to wait for an RPM to be available (so I
can decide if I want to wait, or if there is code that I need to get
sooner).

Thanks.

-Jay
