I agree, openser should be working with the ser people instead of
forking it. Why is ser so stable? One of the reasons is that there
aren't new releases every month. These guys will create confusion.

I do not think openser is a good idea. This will only lead to further
confusion and interoperability problems vis-a-vis ser.cfg.
Why can't the openser guys invest their time and efforts to work with
ser people rather than forking on a new path?
It seems to me voice-systems.ro is trying to endorse itself by launching
openser.

Hi SER community,
there are almost two years from the last official
SER release and things
do not promise too much right now. Not only that
the progress stuck
somewhere on the way (rel 0.9.0 was started more
than half a year ago),
but even any attempt to push thing forward seems
to be denied - I tried
along with Daniel to push the release, but seems
that not everybody
shares our and comunity's interest regarding
the
public part of SER -
upgrades were rolled back, new software
contributions haven't found
their way in (like TLS and other new modules),
modules maintained by
other developers are inaccessible.
The release is delayed due to lack of time.
Current show stoppers were me reviewing the whole tcp code (after
finding a minor bug) and some radius makefile problem.
Forking ser is a very bad ideea and your exposed reason are far from
enough to motivate it.
Anyway anybody can cvs co -rrel_0_9_0 .
Unfortunately this is not a good environment if we
what to have some
future progress for SER. And this is the main
reason for starting a new
project called OpenSER -
http://www.openser.org
.
It's called open because its most important
attribute is its opening to
new ideas and contributions, fast developing and
more involvement of the
comunity. Along with quality, the progress is the
main concern.
We will continue to support and develop the SER
project as much as so
far and as much as possible, but OpenSER will
give
the liberty for more.
ser just got an experimental module repository for new stuff that is
not tested and/or not reviewed by a core developed (so that it can be
added to the ser main repository).
OpenSER serves the interest of all SER users and
will not change its
purpose - as a fact I have the pleasure to
announce its first release -
OpenSER 0.9.4. The web site offers a
comprehensive
listing of new
features and fixes -
http://www.openser.org/index.php#features. For
people already familiar to SER 0.9.3, going to
http://www.openser.org/diffs-0.9.0.php will be
more helpful.
Some of the changes listed in the diffs will break compatibility with
current ser configuration scripts. I wonder also when have you tested
all your changes.
Andrei
