EXPERIMENTAL: update-svn

[wardmundy]

I tweaked some code from JBH and built an EXPERIMENTAL script to update PIAF-Purple (Asterisk 1.8 only!) builds to the latest Asterisk 1.8 SVN release for those that want to live on the Bleeding Edge. Feel free to try it on a NON-PRODUCTION PIAF-Purple system ONLY!

Log into your existing PIAF-Purple (Asterisk 1.8) server as root and issue the following commands:

wget http://pbxinaflash.com/update-svn.tar.gz
tar zxvf update-svn*
./update-svn

From a FreePBX Developer's standpoint, I love this!

Actually I am unable to run it


root@localhost:~ $ ./update-svn
-bash: ./update-svn: cannot execute binary file

There was a glitch in the upload. It's just a text file inside a gzipped tarball so tar zxvf update-svn.tar.gz should do it. Try downloading it again. Sorry.

Thanks it works great now

Hi

Nice addition, this will help those who want to be pioneers test and improve bleeding edge versions of Asterisk as suggested.

However, I've made some slight changes to your script to allow people to recompile an older version they may have downloaded from SVN, or indeed to go back to the original supplied version, for instance to do comparisons between versions, or to go back to a known working version, simply by going back to the appropriate date/time stamped directory, and issuing make distclean, then following the rest of the script from make clean.

#!/bin/bash


#Suggested Changes, JRoper, 20110621

#Variable to put asterisk directories with DT stamp.
DATETIME=$(date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S")

;amportal stop
#amportal kill better than stop, graceful is probably not required.
amportal kill
cd /usr/src
#rm -r asterisk-old
#Rather than delete, lets keep so we can go back.
mkdir asterisk-upgrade-backups-$DATETIME
#mv asterisk asterisk-old
mv asterisk asterisk-upgrade-backups-$DATETIME/asterisk
svn checkout http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk/branches/1.8 asterisk
cd asterisk
make clean
./configure
#Suggest Make Menuselect here
make menuselect
make
make install
cd ..
cd asterisk-flite
make clean
make
make install
amportal start
echo "Checking whether Flite is functioning..."
asterisk -rx "core show application flite"
echo "Checking whether CDR reporting is functioning..."
asterisk -rx "module show like mysql"
cd /root
status

Here's the Latest

SVN update works for me without running make menuselect. Both CDR and Flite get loaded just fine. No idea why.
