asterisk: problem with device state on svn trunk

[Francois Delawarde]

So it's upstream and not in debian bristuff patches? In that case,
anyone could point me on where I should start to check that device state
mess?

Also, is there documentation anywhere on what each debian patch is for
(like the bristuff for example)? I'm no C guru and had to spend a big
half an hour finding out that the simple ast-device-state-CID patch was
just meant to show the callerID name and number on manager Events when
there is a device state change. Starting like that I don't have much
hope of finding or repairing the problem...

If I ever find a way to repair these things, can I send patches to
debian pkg-voip (if so how?)? It looks very difficult and long to have
patches applied upstream, and I suppose that if they come from debian,
it could speed-up the process.

Thanks,
François.
