Hi,

I would like to know if i can upgrade my whole asterisk installation with RPM packages when/if there would be some availible at the next kernel upgrade?

Thanks.

Hi Psoren,
I'm assuming that you ask because you have a compiled Asterisk install.   I personally would not attempt such an upgrade.  You would have no way of knowing what got updated and what didn't.    Better to test any new release on a different machine entirely and then, if you wish to upgrade, take a backup of the SAIL database and build a new system with the RPM Asterisk installed.   You can then copy over the SAIL database backup and issue a commit.  Job done.  Don't forget to copy any sound files(greetings) you wish to keep.

Kind Regards

S

Hi S

The way i understand your answer is

1. If installed from source, upgrade from source

2. If installed with RPM, upgrade with RPM.

Is that correct?

Thanks and regards

Yes, that would be my policy
