[asterisk-users] Debian 7/Asterisk TLS bug and others

[Daniel Pocock]

Debian 7 is currently in the `freeze' status with 1.8.13 - that means
Debian 7 is very likely to release 1.8.13 and be carrying it for the
next 2-3 years (typical lifetime of a Debian release)

I run 1.8.8.  TLS has a bug: it fails to receive BYE over the TLS
connection from my Polycom phone.

I tried 1.8.13, the version in Debian 7, and found a more severe bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=683956
The TLS clients can't connect at all, this looks like a really bad
regression from 1.8.8

I've looked at 1.8.(14, 15, 16-rc1) and their changelogs don't mention
any fix.

Debian is very conservative about accepting updates during the `freeze'
process - they will most likely want to see a 1.8.13.2 release with ONLY
the most essential fixes

a) is anyone else aware of these bugs?

b) what essential changes should go into 1.8.13.2 for Debian?
