[asterisk-users] Upgrade to Asterisk 1.4 - it's one year's old!

Tue Dec 18 23:19:08 CST 2007

ok, here is my $0.02...  I created a script since I had to 
install/update so often and for various reasons...
you can choose to compile automatically or manually...
modify the current release numbers, your repository, and source root... 
all else is automated..
which is unloading zap driver, stopping a running asterisk, getting the 
current release, untar'ng it and compiling it...
enjoy,
