Bug#1031046: Asterisk packaging

[Olivier]

Hello,

I lately discovered  this thread.
I volunteer to help to package Asterisk either in current official
Debian repo or in an alternative repository.

The perspectives of Asterisk Deb packaging is talked about in [1] (I'm
the original author of this thread).

One thing that comes to mind reading [1] is that several people
recommend packaging from scratch while it seems to me, that
contributing in coordinated activities may lower the amount of work
(no need to build a repo, to configure host to use a custom repo, ...)
and increase the outcome quality as Debian standards are quite high.

If having Asterisk distributed with Bookwom is a lost cause, maybe we
can try to have latest Asterisk 20.3 be packaged "the Debian way" in
unstable repo and self assign the goal that this build would done by
new contributors, under the control of experienced mainteners ?

Then, what could be the best media to read or add doc about Asterisk packaging ?
