[asterisk-users] zaptel on CENTOS servercd

[Jim Suber]

I use CentOS4.4. successfully. I do something which is very odd for a Linux
admin. I do a "install everything". There is/was a reason for this.
I was in a hurry to get a system online and didn't have time for a research
project. I wrote a simple shell script to compile the apps (zaptel, libpri,
asterisk),copy pre-defined .confs to asterisk -udev zaptel etc., set up
vsftpd for provisioning up to 20 Polycom phones, set up DHCPD and finally
the script removes a list of un-needed services left over from "install
everything" The list of un-needed services continues to grow as I learn
more. I know you won't find this in anyone's "Best Practices" wiki but I've
used this process (install the os, run the script) 6 times for six different
systems. It works flawlessly everytime. Takes an average of 51 minutes to
get a complete system up and running.

One comment if I may:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Linux+Centos does need some
cleanup. Let alone merging of the two separate procedures and an update.

Isn't this done by the installer?

Why do you need kernel-source?  I know it is fun do download some extra
40Gigs, but apart from that, the kernel-devel / kernel-smp-devel is all
you need to build zaptel. (likewise linux-headers-`uname -r` on 
Debian/Ubuntu )

Hmmm.... you install kernel, but kernel-*smp*-devel . Strange
ocmbination.

Why not simply 'yum update' to get the latest kernel, if needed? This
will upgrade either 'kernel' or 'kernel-smp', depending on the installed
package.

If you don't need a kernel upgrade you don't need the following:
