Hello,
After installing asterisk from Bookworm repo (on a Bookworm platform), I can see a /usr/share/asterisk/documentation directory exists but no such documentation directory exists in /var/lib/asterisk.
Of course, with this setup, you can successfully start Asterisk.
On an other Bookworm platform, I installed Asterisk from source with the same file setup ie a documentation directory (with appropriate content) in /usr/share/asterisk and no such documentation directory exists in /var/lib/asterisk.
Doing so, Asterisk consistently fails to start.
If I type "ln -s /usr/share/asterisk/documentation /var/lib/asterisk/documentation ", then Asterisk’s start consistently succeeds.
I observed the same with previous Bullseye or earlier versions but didn’t dare to ask.
I can live with this but my goal is to share the exact set of config files no matter how Asterisk was sourced (from repo ou source code) and this one is the last one I’m having issue with.
Why this difference between both ?
Does it come from a patch applied to asterisk’s source files ?
From a compilation option ?
Best regards
