The package seems to build (and work) on EPEL: Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/speex-1.2-0.3.beta2.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/speex-devel-1.2-0.3.beta2.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/speex-debuginfo-1.2-0.3.beta2.x86_64.rpm Speex is not in EPEL because it is in the base RHEL OS, but at an older version (1.0.5 IIRC). Some of the features in the Asterisk package require Speex 1.2. EPEL has a policy of not overriding anything in the base RHEL OS. The best solution would be for the Speex in RHEL to be upgraded to 1.2 but that's not likely to happen because of RHEL's policies. [1] You can maintain it in EPEL, but we don't have the review of the package. I'look at it. As I was pointed from Jeffrey, that the package already exists in RHEL: Please update speex in RHEL to something more up2date (and sometimes it is done even for RHEL so I'm requesting this hereby). RHEL4: speex-1.0.4-4 RHEL5: speex-1.0.5-4 I would like to see them at speex-1.2-0.3.beta2 niveau around, if possible... I don't see any issue tracker. Please ask your support. I'm not sure if it won't hurt linephone and other tools using speex. That's why I'm nice asking. I would like to see Asterisk in EPEL, but this requires a newer speex - it IMHO won't help to ask the support, because it's something unsupported. Jeffrey, could you live with a "compat" package called "speex-compat", "compat- speex" or similar? But then this would have library name changes as well, or am I wrong? And as far as I can see, this also requires patching asterisk then to pick this separate package up somehow :-( This was discussed on the epel-devel list a few weeks ago, and the general consensus seemed to be against adding a compat package, especially since it would just be for EPEL. Won't fix because of RHEL policies :-( Please close this bug report, as I'm somehow not allowed to do this (even as owner) Couldn't we add newer speex somehow into EPEL asterisk. I know that asterisk is often used and it's shame that EPEL haven't chance to support it. Closing it -> can't fix, because jumping on higher version could ruined other related packages. |
