HI All,
We've just sent a bunch of rpms up to the mirrors. They are the SAIL 272 release together with brand new asterisk rpms (built automatically by our spiffy new asterisk rpm-generator) .
We've also rationalised the ftp sites to make them (hopefully) less confusing.
Essentially there are two new sets of asterisk rpms - ISDN BRI and None-ISDN BRI. Why 2 sets? Well because the BRI software, which is a packaging of the latest BriStuff releases from Junghanns, won't run with the SMP Kernel. The "ordinary" asterisk (none-ISDN) release will run with both UP and SMP Kernels. Also the none-ISDN release is 1.2.10-1 whereas the Junghanns release is at 1.2.9-1. Although these packages (rpms) have special code in them for SAIL, they should run quite happily standalone. When they are started, they check to see if SAIL is present. If it isn't they behave just like vanilla asterisk.
SAIL-2.1.13-272 will ONLY run with these above two releases (it won't install with earlier releases). This is because we have completely re-written the PCI Card detection code in -272 and it won't run with earlier asterisk rpms. -272 is on the Release Candidate tag and we are gradually getting all of the bugs out of it as we take it to V2.1 Final.
There are full install instructions (with pictures!) on the docs site here
http://81.149.154.14/docs/cgi-bin/view/Main/SysVersion2Release1Issue13Please read the 2.1.13 Quick notes thoroughly before attempting an install. It isn't hard but there are a couple of sequential operations to be observed.
Also the docs site has been completely overhauled with new screen shots and text to match the new release.
The ISDN code has been quite heavily tested on our simulator here and it has so far executed flawlessly, however we will be interested to see what happens "out in the field" when it runs against real ISDN circuits. All of our testing has been done with "Billion" HFC Cards (V3.0 - Serial No - 4719170000098).
Kind Regards
