Cool, thanks! I think that these are too many to upload to experimental.
Perhaps we could with just asterisk/libpri/dahdi?

That's *very* unfortunate and very silly IMHO.
That means that we'll have to do sourceful uploads of all of our
packages everytime they release a new version?
Perhaps we should discuss with them the possibility of keeping the ABI
as stable as possible?

Do you have any idea what are Digium's plans regarding libpri and BRI?
I thought they were suggesting mISDN for that purpose and I expected
them to be even more strict about this now that mISDN got merged.
I was very surprised, however, to see that they rewrote qozap on their
own. Are they preparing BRI support themselves by any chance? :-)

Cool :-)

I think there isn't a clean solution for this besides the obvious of
adding the epoch to dahdi...
Thanks,
