Upgrade 1.4.21.2 to 1.4.42?

Asterisk Asterisk Support

We’re currently running Asterisk 1.4.21.2 on top of CentOS 5.2 with FreePBX 2.5.2.6 thrown on top.

We’ve recently moved our PRI onto an Adtran device with a SIP trunk, and we’re getting bitten by a bug that sounds awfully similar to the one reported here: issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=13209

I assume that Asterisk 1.4.42 probably includes that bugfix. Is this correct? Has that bug been resolved in this version? If not, has it been resolved in a later version?

Assuming that the bug is fixed in 1.4.42… How painful a process is it to upgrade from the version we’re running? It can’t be as simple as a yum install, can it? Will I need to build from source? Is my existing configuration likely to keep working, or not?

Absolutely any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

There is unlikely to be a 1.4.43 and it won’t fix normal bugs. 1.4 and 1.6 are in security fixes only mode.

According to the SVN log it is. I imagine you could also have confirmed this from the ChangeLog.

Thank you for your response David.

If both 1.4.x and 1.6.x are in security-fixes-only mode, we’d probably be better off moving up to 1.8.x

What kind of upgrade am I looking at here? We’ll be jumping several versions… I have to assume things will break.

Is there any good documentation out there? A nice, clean how-to?
