Some time ago, Mark asked me about using my .spec files for 1.0 for 
Asterisk. We discussed briefly putting it into the distribution to replace 
the existing RPM. I've never had good luck w/ the one in CVS as it does 
"weird" things.

I haven't really been maintaining my .spec files for CVS head, rather 
waiting till 1.2 is closer to fully baked. There are enough changes in the 
way things are done w/ 1.2 that it makes sense to hold off until it is 
released (at least on my part.. mostly because of personal time to devote 
to maintaining them).

Of course, I'm not the only one w/ my own .spec file for Asterisk, and 
there are probably better references out there than mine, but if no one 
steps up to the plate, I'll be happy to roll out some .specs for Centos 
3.5 and 4.2. I have a disclaimer and I'll be happy to submit them as a 
patch, but I'd like to get some objective comparisons of my stuff versus 
what other people have worked on, mainly because there are better ways to 
"skin the cat" than what I did.
