[SR-Users] Fwd: Kamailio 4.0.2 as a new Port for FreeBSD

[Oliver Mahmoudi]

Hello,

The port has just been committed to the FreeBSD ports tree and has been
mapped to:

/usr/ports/net/kamailio

It can be compiled and installed with FreeBSD's traditional:

# make install clean

It compiles on 8.x, 9.x and 10.x for the i386 and x86-64 architectures.
Possibly for the others archs too, but they to my knowing haven't been
thoroughly tested so far. We'll find out on the way. The way things look, I
will be the ports defacto maintainer.

After finishing my first draft of the port about a year ago, I ran a few
tests between a Kamailio server on FreeBSD and a Windows host using
MySQL as a phonebook and Jitsi as a frontend GUI. From the Kamailio point
of view, things worked fine, however, the only problem was, that I wasn't
really able to test voice functionality, since jitsi had some problems
accessing soundcard features on FreeBSD. Maybe things have changed since
then and/or this will give rise to new research in this area.

In case you are interested and for your cross-reference, you can find the
entire discussion that took place concerning the port here:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=181301

Moreover, to this e-mail attached, you will find a shell archive
(kamailio.shar) of the port the way it has been mapped into the ports tree.

Enjoy using Kamailio on FreeBSD!
