Third-party distributions are very important, and Asterisk has
for various reasons done relatively badly there.

Fedora still doesn't have Asterisk, but does have CallWeaver. Asterisk
isn't even available in the most popular extra repositories, but only
in ATrpms, my least favourite of the larger repositories.

Hey, I just discovered
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/asterisk

Brilliant! I hope it gets in soon! It has a proper init script too,
and it's split in subpackages, and,
and... 

Thanks a lot!
