Unfortunately not that I'm aware, and I *really, really, really* do wish they would release it for everyone... would be very helpful.

You can read the TMC interview w/ Tony & Philippe describing the patch (just search for 'patch')

Just moving this to the Bugs forum so we can remember to incorporate it down the road.

And I have offered this before to the PIAF crew and as you see mentioned it last year

"Last time I asked Ward about this he said they dont provide patches to asterisk and their build process was not setup for it."

Ward was not blaming you just wanted to make sure Loren understood this was offered up before as its something we thought was cool and that everyone should have access to.

I believe this would also patch the asterisk bug of the Queue Pause hints not working ?

If you could offer some direction as to what needs to be done, I'd love to be the guinea pig or whatever, test it, and get it going on our current PiaF... have no problem troubleshooting or figuring out (just not sure how to pull from SRPMs).

I ended up following the instructions in these two articles:

http://kb.smartvox.co.uk/asterisk/sip-extensions/shared-voicemail-part1/
http://kb.smartvox.co.uk/asterisk/sip-extensions/shared-voicemail-part2/

The shell script didn't quite do what was intended on my installation of Ubuntu so I ended up with this
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Control script to change the status of a custom device state in Asterisk
# Called from Asterisk whenever a voicemail message is left
#
VM_CONTEXT=$1
EXTEN=$2
VM_COUNT=$3

ASTCMD="/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx"
if [ $EXTEN -eq 4444 ];
then
        if [[ $VM_COUNT = "0" ]];
        then logger -t groupmwi "Switching OFF Group mailbox message"
        $ASTCMD "devstate change Custom:groupmwi NOT_INUSE"
                else
                        logger -t groupmwi "Switching ON Group mailbox message"
                        $ASTCMD "devstate change Custom:groupmwi INUSE"
        fi
fi

exit 0

If there is a better way I'd be grateful to know especially if what I have done breaks anything!
