[Resolved] AEL2 Upgrade/Patch

[lee_is_me]

Has anyone else having a problem with downloading and applying this patch to get AEL2 functionality?

I have tried following the directions at:

voip-info.org/wiki/view/Aste … nsionsael2

and get:

“‘http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/murf/AEL2-1.2/diffs.AEL2.patch’ refers to a file, not a directory”

This refers to the process of including the patch as described in the first portion of the wiki page.

I am new to linux so the problem could definitely be somewhere between the back of my chair and the keyboard.

Thanks for any help.

everyone–

Sorry about that. I’ve created a patches subdir in the AEL2-1.2
repository, and put that patch down in there. So, now, you do:

svn co svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team … .2/patches

and then

patch -p0 < patches/diffs.AEL2.patch

Assuming that you are in a 1.2 source directory…

Hopefully this sequence will work better. I’ve updated the voip-info
wiki.

Again, you 1.2 users: It is not absolutely necessary to update your 1.2
installation to use AEL with 1.2; you can build a 1.4 somewhere, and use
the AEL in 1.4 to compile your extensions.ael into an extensions.conf
file via

aelparse -d -w

This will generate the file ‘extensions.conf.aeldump’, which you can
inspect and then copy into your appropriate /etc/asterisk directory on
the machine where your 1.2 installation resides.

The main thing to watch out for in this scenario, is that AEL uses a
slightly enhanced version of the $ parser to do its thing. If you
don’t use the new features, you should be quite OK.
