[Asterisk-Users] So many Asterisk Patches - Which do I choose and use?

[Paul Rodan]

Which MOH patch should I use? What is the best link to the best mpg123
replacement patch? Something with instructions please.

I found the original MOH patch, but then I remember somebody mentioning
another good patch that included the MOH patch within it, but I can't find
that post/link, anybody?

Any other CPU or performance saving or crash-prevening patch's that need
applying to the latest CVS-Stable?

To get CVS-STABLE:


export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs at cvs.digium.com:/usr/cvsroot
cvs login
cvs checkout -r v1-0 zaptel libpri asterisk 

> type these 3 command inorder to get CVS HEAD.
