<DIV><SPAN class=901410121-02062006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
first situation you mention can be solved by creating separate files that
contain the unique elements, and then including them in the main files where all
the commonality is. That is how we do things, and it works well for
us. It may be a little cumbersome if you have a *lot* of uniqueness, but
if you really want to share a significant portion of the configs this is the
only way I know of to do it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=901410121-02062006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>As for
revision control, we use Subversion with a branch for each server containing the
unique files. All of our configuration scripts also include automatic
checkins of changed files (we can always revert if need be). It also makes
it easy to spot changes if something goes wrong, as an svn diff will tell
you.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

[Asterisk-Users] Config Revision Control<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=044363620-02062006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Has
anyone got any neat solutions for Asterisk .conf file revision
control?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=044363620-02062006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>We
have multiple Asterisk boxes here, that we'd like to maintain a _mostly_
common set of conf files on. They aren't all the same though. There's subtle
differences. For example, in sip.conf, iax.conf etc, the bindaddr setting
is different. Dundi.conf is very different between each
system.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=044363620-02062006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>At
the moment I have a file tree on a separate server, and I use the m4 processor
to replace certain unique sections of the files. I have a bunch of scripts to
build sip.conf etc and then rsync the files out to the servers. It works,
mostly, but it isn't elegant.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=044363620-02062006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I'd
like to revision control all this. I don't know how it could be done with
revision control though. As I said, not all the files are the same. I don't
know if we'd run a version control client on each Asterisk box, or if we'd run
it centrally, and then use rsync again, to copy the files
out.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
