Bug#1031046: Request to close

[Benjamin Renard]

Hi,

@Chris, do you think you could make the necessary arrangements to have 
your version of Asterisk for Trixie pushed into Debian Testing? You are 
certainly in the best position, with the help of your team at Sangoma 
and other volunteers who have offered their assistance here and 
elsewhere, to make this a reality. This step would not only benefit the 
current user base but also demonstrate the commitment and capability of 
the community to maintain and promptly update the package, particularly 
in response to CVEs.

By including the Asterisk in Debian testing, we can showcase the active 
engagement of the user community, potentially facilitating its inclusion 
in trixie-backports initially, and finally in the next stable release of 
Debian. This would ensure that Debian users have access to up-to-date 
and secure Asterisk packages.

I fear that without progress on this matter, we may find with numerous 
Asterisk instances stuck on Debian Bullseye, which will no longer be 
maintained after August 2026 with the end of LTS. Additionally, there 
could be a proliferation of individual solutions to migrate to Trixie, 
involving local builds that are difficult to keep secure. Having 
up-to-date packages maintained in testing (and ideally in 
trixie-backports) would provide an "official" solution, demonstrating 
the desire to see the inclusion of Asterisk return to Debian Forky.

Thank you all!

Best regards,
