Two years later. I forgot about the previous discussion. I needed to
build openr2 from source. For some odd reason I had a problem locating
the source package for the binary package I was using (openr2 from
EPEL). So I figured it wouldn't be a problem building from source.

The first hit on my search engine is https://libopenr2.org/ . It points
to http://code.google.com/p/openr2/downloads/list . I saw nothing there.

The second hit is the placeholder http://www.openr2.org/ .

Only the fifth hit is the github repo. I cloned it. Built it. And then
Asterisk fails to build, as it presents a different API.

Somebody clearly hates the users who did not install openr2 packages
from distributions.

Any chance to update https://libopenr2.org/ ?
