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

[Olle E. Johansson]

Hi again!
A few questions:
- When is this port going to be published as part of the ports listed on the website?
  Please keep me posted so I can publish information and pointers on the web site.
- How much work will it be to add a 4.1 port and soon a 4.2?

/O

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.
