Hey Graham,

I would be interested in the 1.5 backported module. Is that available for the masses?
I personally wouldn't mind publishing the backport code. One interesting question, however, is in what form to do that. Several approaches come to my mind:
- A separate branch with just the patch.
- A separate Kamailio 1.5 branch with the modified code.
- Distribution via the mailing list.
- Distribution in private.
Naturally, I'd favor something centralized to allow more people access to the code.
@Daniel: What's your thought on this? Do you have a preferred way?
Maybe uploading it (a tarball if big or just the patch file) on the tracker is another quite easy possibility. Either on the one from sip-router.org, or, since it is 1.5, can be even on the sourceforge.net. This will allow to upload new versions of the files if changes are needed in the future. Then provide the link to the tracker item on the mailing list.
I would prefer no commit on the mainstream SVN branches, so we do not open past releases, that will create lot of confusion.
As Daniel suggested, I put the patch on the Sourceforge tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3394470&group_id=139...
If something's not working as expected, please let me know. Note, however, that support for the 1.5 branch cannot be guaranteed and will discontinue very soon from my side.
Cheers,

Note, however, that the time frame we (as in my company) are going to use, support, and maintain the 1.5 backport code is already now
foreseeable.
Cheers,

Hi all, as announced quite a while ago, I finally checked in code that allows to produce CDRs (Call Data Records) directly from SIP-Router and
generate
logs accordingly. The main code portion resides in modules_k/acc and provides a
switch to
enable basic CDR generation including start time, end time, and duration. Analogous to the existing logging approach, you may
define an
extra parameter covering to-be-included dialog pseudo-variables
that
must be assigned in the configuration script. The new code will
take
care of transforming the basic and custom CDR fields into CDR
logs at
the end of a dialog. Speaking of dialogs: The implementation relies heavily on the
dialog
module. It takes advantage of dialog variables introduces by
Carsten
Bock and adds a few more features. Most notably, we had to
change the
dialog callback signature to provide both request and response messages. Having only one of them proved to be insufficient in certain
cases; for
instance, a locally generated 408 returned a FAKED_REPLY, thus rendering it impossible to access dialog variables through the PV framework. Other modules using dialog callbacks have been updated along the commit, third-party modules outside the repository will need to do so
too (and
think about whether using the request or response is the Right Thing to do). Due to the changes brought to the dialog module, I pushed the
new acc
and dialog code into a separate branch called treimann/acc-cdr.
Feel
free to give it a try by consulting the updated documentation and suggesting (or, if it's good enough, implementing :) )
improvements. A
Kamailio 1.5 backport of the code has been in usage for quite
some time
with us, so generally there shouldn't be any major logical flaws. SIP-Router certainly needs more testing, however, so I'd be glad for any feedback. My plan is to merge the code into master branch prior
to the
3.2 feature freeze, unless significant objections arise. Finally, big-time credits go to my co-worker Sven Knoblich who
is the
main contributor of the code. He's been working on this stuff
for the
past few months and dreams in CDRs by now.
