[asterisk-users] res_musiconhold.c Bug - Patch to solve?

[Danny Nicholas]

Application of a patch to any one-or-more-off version of asterisk can be a
"Russian roulette" proposition; If you're applying "1-off" you're pretty
safe.  The more versions between the patch and where you are, the more
bullets you are loading into the gun.

 

The best (IMO) procedure for this or any other 'more-than-1-off' patch you
want to apply is

#1. create a backup copy of the module you're patching

#2  apply the patch

#3  do a native gcc compile of the module for any obvious gotcha's

#4  if nothing happened in step 3,  do your make and make install on
asterisk to install the patch and check it out.

#5  if it works, you're done, if not, put the file back from the backup in
step 1 and repeat step 4.

 

FWIW
