including non-upstream patches

[Caio Begotti]

Hi, I'd like to know if there are any policy regarding what kind of patches to 
include in asterisk packages for Debian. Would this one be okay/nice to 
include by default in .debs releases? A patch to use register string using 
realtime would be really great but I don't know the dangers of doing so.

[17:11:39] <caio1982> the regexten field of sip table for asteriak realtime is 
just the extension to use in the registering or the whole register string? 
i'm helping to build a ARA manager but couldn't figure this out
[17:12:00] <caio1982> s/asteriak/asterisk
[17:12:31] <kpfleming> it's an exten to register in the regcontext
[17:12:40] <kpfleming> it has nothing to do with the 'register string'
[17:12:58] <caio1982> hmm thanks
[17:16:05] <caio1982> kpfleming: so this " register => 
user[:secret[:authuser]]@host[:port][/extension] " string cannot be used with 
ARA directly from some table?
[17:16:20] <caio1982> what i meant was the "/extension" part, in the previous 
question
[17:17:28] <kpfleming> no, totally different thing
[17:17:40] <kpfleming> _completely_ unrelated
[17:17:44] * file[desk] stabs amd64 debian
[17:18:11] <kpfleming> there is an open bug with a patch to add register=> 
support to type=peer entries... until that it is registrations to other 
systems cannot be done via ARA
[17:18:25] <kpfleming> unless you use 'static realtime' for sip.conf
[17:18:29] <caio1982> do you know this bug #?
[17:18:50] <kpfleming> nope
[17:19:03] <caio1982> thanks again kpfleming , i'll seek it
[17:19:11] <benjk> is that finally going to be the method for registrations?
[17:19:18] <kpfleming> yes
[17:19:22] <file[desk]> check oej's branches, he added one specifically for 
that... supporting registrations in peers
[17:19:24] <benjk> neat
[17:19:31] <file[desk]> bug number is listed
[17:20:00] <benjk> sip only? or across the board?
[17:20:11] <kpfleming> he is only working on sip
[17:20:19] <kpfleming> but the same thing could be used for chan_iax2, of 
course
