Hello,

Current kamailio package (checked via RPM) is contains lot of modules. Some of this is not important to include in every kamailio installation. May be create own packages for this modules and other in next 5.3 branch?

Modules examples:

benchmark.so

db_cluster.so

db_text.so

rtpengine.so

rtpproxy.so

sipcapture.so

siptrace.so

sipt.so

sms.so

smsops.so

ss7ops.so

https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/issues/1862

use of such modules is a matter of deployment type and for example, for residential services, rtpengine or rtpproxy are like a must. I also use often benchmark module to track execution of some operations (like http queries). Also, siptrace is rather common in what I deal with.

IMO, it is hard to make a selection on usage or personal preferences. The rule was that was has same dependencies as core, they should be packaged together.

Actually there was a discussion to add more to the main package, from those with additional dependencies, but very used (like tls, ...) -- it might be on issue tracker as well.

Then, Victor Seva mentioned at some point in time that in debian is better to keep modules groupped as many as possible, because introducing a new package in the official distro requires a complex process of review for license, etc...

Overall, if there is a decision to regroup some modules in different packages, I would like to follow the same for both debs and rpms, otherwise installation guidelines can end up to be different and can become confusing.

Cheers,
Daniel
