Asterisk 11 Package Support

[Ben Klang]

Hello Debian VoIP Team,

I have been working with the Asterisk 1.8.13 Debian package to upgrade it to 11.  I've got it almost working and I want to contribute my changes to Debian.  If you will excuse my ignorance, I'm not sure how best to submit the patch.  I have an svn working copy and a unified diff taken from that.  Can someone point me to a guide on contributing this work?

Also, I do have one outstanding packaging-related problem.  With Asterisk 11 there is a new shared library included with Asterisk.  However, because the library (as far as I can tell) is not meant to be used by any other package, I do not believe a "libasterisk" package is the appropriate way to ship it.  However, I can't seem to get around the problem that sbin/asterisk depends on the shared library, but dh_shlibdeps can't find dependency info:

dh_shlibdeps -a
dpkg-shlibdeps: error: couldn't find library libasteriskssl.so.1 needed by debian/asterisk/usr/sbin/asterisk (ELF format: 'elf32-i386'; RPATH: '').
dpkg-shlibdeps: error: Cannot continue due to the error above.
Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not have any shlibs or symbols file.
To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
dh_shlibdeps: dpkg-shlibdeps -Tdebian/asterisk.substvars debian/asterisk/usr/sbin/astdb2bdb debian/asterisk/usr/sbin/asterisk debian/asterisk/usr/sbin/astcanary debian/asterisk/usr/sbin/astdb2sqlite3 returned exit code 2
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2


Any help on that would be appreciated.
