Bug#389591: status update

[Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>]

Hello,

I would really like to see Freeswitch in Debian.

Some suggestions:

1. For an initial version of the package, just create (yes duplicate)
private libraries, maybe in /usr/lib/freeswitch - it sounds like doing
this correctly will take a lot of time.

2. For a long term solution for 1, where upstream is not interested in
merging changes, maybe the Debian maintainers might be more open?

3. For /etc I suggest following the example of shorewall - leave the
conf directory empty, and allow the system administrator to copy demo
files from /usr/share/doc/freeswitch/examples if desired. I think
freeswitch configuration is sufficiently complex enough that we don't
really want to try and manage the configuration files automatically.

Thanks for your efforts,
