I didn't know that. If that's the case then never mind
my request.

No real advantage but I had to patch Gentoo's Asterisk
1.4.19 ebuild (ie "package") to avoid losing
/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/codec_ilbc.so and I took
advantage of the fact that there already exists an
ilbc ebuild for Gentoo.
If I want Gentoo users to upgrade seamlessly via the
package management system I can think of only two
choices:

1) change the 1.4.19 ebuild so that it runs the
contrib/scripts/getilbcsource.sh before compiling (but
I would still need to patch that script to remove the
"read")

2) change the * 1.4.19 ebuild so that it can take
advantage of ilbc provided by another ebuild (via
dependency).

I proposed option 2 for Gentoo users and it's working
fine for my system.
However, if you plan to get the iLBC source code back
in the main distribution soon then that's even better
and as I wrote before, you can ignore my request.

Thanks,
Vieri
