<h1><a name="AsteriskModuleSupportStates-Introduction"></a>Introduction</h1>
<p>In Asterisk, modules can take one of three supported states. These states include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Core</li>
<li>Extended</li>
<li>Deprecated</li>
</ul>
<p>The definition of the various states is described in the following sections.</p>
<h2><a name="AsteriskModuleSupportStates-Core"></a>Core</h2>
<p>Most modules in Asterisk are in the Core state, which means issues found with these modules can freely be reported to the Asterisk issue tracker, where the issue will be triaged and placed into a queue for resolution.</p>
<h2><a name="AsteriskModuleSupportStates-Extended"></a>Extended</h2>
<p>This module is supported by the Asterisk community, and may or may not have an active developer. Issues reported against these modules may have a low level of support. Some extended modules have active community developers monitoring issues though.</p>
<h2><a name="AsteriskModuleSupportStates-Deprecated"></a>Deprecated</h2>
<p>The module will remain in the tree, but there is a better way to do it. After two release cycles issues that have been deprecated for some time will be listed in an email to the Asterisk-Dev list where the community will have an opportunity to comment on whether a deprecated module: still compiles, works sufficiently well, and is still being utilized in a system where there is a justification for not using the preferred module.</p>

<li><b><depend></b></li>
</ul>
<p>The meta data added to <b>MODULEINFO</b> in the module causes data to be generated in <em>menuselect</em>. For example, when you use <b><defaultenabled>no</defaultenabled></b> the module will not be selected by default. We would use the <b><defaultenabled></b> tag for <em>deprecated</em> modules so that they are not built unless explicitly selected by an Asterisk administrator.</p>
<h2><a name="AsteriskModuleSupportStates-AddingNewMetadata"></a>Adding New Metadata</h2>
<p>On top of the existing tags, we would add two additional tags to communicate via menuselect that a module was extended or deprecated (and what module supersedes the deprecated module). These tags include:</p>
<ul>
<li><b><support_level></b>
<ul>
<li><em>Example: <support_level>deprecated</support_level></em> -- This module would be deprecated. Maintenance of this module may not exist. It is possible this module could eventually be tagged as deprecated, or removed from the tree entirely. </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b><replacement></b>
<ul>
<li><em>Example: <replacement>func_odbc</replacement></em> -- The replacement for this module is the func_odbc module. This is used when the <em><support_level></em> is set to <b>deprecated</b>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="AsteriskModuleSupportStates-MenuselectDisplay"></a>Menuselect Display</h3>
<p>The following two images show the suggested menuselect output based on the addition of the <em><support_level></em> and <em><replacement></em> tags. This would be a new line that has not been used before, and therefore would be added to menuselect as that new line.</p>
<p>If the <b>deprecated</b> value is used, then the value between the <b><replacement></b> tags will replace the value of <em>app_superQ</em> as shown in the image below. The text surrounding <em>app_superQ</em> would be static (same for all modules that used <b>deprecated</b>).</p>

<p>If the <b><support_level></b> tag is used, then the value of <em>extended</em> would cause the additional text of <b>*</b>* EXTENDED *<b>*</b> to be displayed.</p>

<p>Display in menuselect-newt for supported modules. If no <support_level> is specified, then it is assumed the module is supported:</p>
