No problem. I actually spent the past couple days on cleaning up the
BTS, either by fixing real bugs, closing them as invalid/deprecated or
playing with control to actually mark bugs correctly.

Features like bristuff are great but QA is necessary too :)

Are you using bristuff?
I updated all of the bristuff drivers from bristuff -test4 and they are
quite different.
BTW, I'm using a self-compiled (before I joined the team) bristuff
-test3 with zaphfc myself as my PBX at home and works almost perfectly.
I wouldn't expect any trouble.

Doh!

AFAIK, the FTBFS was unrelated to mysql and more related to a newer
compiler. E.g. it borked because upstream assumed
	#include <file.h>
would also include stdio.h which isn't anymore.

The Ubuntu patches fix various upstream bugs like those above, even
though it's a quite small patch.

Unfortunately, it still doesn't compile and the fix should be
non-trivial. Basically, it's written for Asterisk 1.2 and 1.4 changed
many things in its headers.

Maybe we should provide it only for asterisk1.2 if/when that happens?

So no reason not to, right?

Tzafrir told me on IRC that it's in a pretty bad shape.

It is used by FreePBX so I guess someone interested in that will pick it up?
