AMP packages

[Tzafrir Cohen]

Hi

We finally decided to use AMP (http://amp.voxbox.ca ) in Rapid. I'm
working on packaging it. I'm working on packages or Rapid. Will those 
packages be of interest for the general Debian population as well?

I'll probably break it down to three separate packages: 

1. the admin interface itself
2. the flash operator panel
3. asterisk-stat

(2) and (3) are stand-alone packages currently integrated into AMP. 

Names:

1. The sourceforge project name of (!) is 'amportal' . I figure it should do.
   The tarball is named 'AMP'
2. The tarball is named 'op_panel-<version>'. I named it 'op-panel'.
3. not packaged yet. probably requires cdr_mysql from asterisk-addons

Licenses: All declare themselves as GPL. flash_op, though, has the
following in the FAQ:

	Q7: Where is the .fla file?
					
	A7: The server is GPL, the client is not. I do not like the .fla
			format. I have ported the client to MING, under ming-source you will
			find the perl source for generating a working .swf client. I will give
			the .fla source to the first person who donates me an ibook or powerbook
			with OSX 10.3.5 and Macromedia Tools installed <g>.

(op-panel is composed of a daemon that proxies between the asterisk
management socket and a client written in (yuck!) flash. I'm also
studying the security implications of this.)

Suggestions for a better client that does not require installation would
be welcomed, BTW.
