Heads up! This post is more than a year old.
Of course this had to happen: I finish my 1.2.4 packages and the Asterisk team releases 1.2.5. Oh well, the Debian VoIP team will probably follow soon enough and so will I.
When upgrading, make sure you choose the correct version of asterisk: asterisk-classic or asterisk-bristuff. Also, H323 support is removed and chan_capi is included by default now. The zaptel drivers (incl. hfc) have been pre-built for some common kernel versions. If you don’t like waiting, skip asterisk-doc, it’s a 13MB monster.
