Hello All! 2009/10/25 Felix Kaechele <felix@xxxxxxxxxx>: > Hi there, > I'm just starting to play with my SIP Phones using OpenSER. > I was wondering why there have been no updates to the OpenSER package > since it was renamed to Kamailio in version 1.4.0? There are plans to package sip-router, when it will reach some level of quality, since it's a merge of SER and OpenSER/Kamailio. Also, there is an attempt to package OpenSIPs (another one fork of SER/OpenSER codebase) - take a look here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529831 > I did however notice that version 1.4.0 in fact is of an earlier date > than version 1.3.4 (which still is named OpenSER and is in Fedora). 1.3.4 is the last stable version of OpenSER. Since ver. 1.4.0 it was rebranded as Kamailio. > So is there an actual difference between OpenSER and Kamailio - other > than the name - that prevents us from replacing the OpenSER package with > a Kamailio package. A lots, actually. There are some changes in config-file syntax, in plugins and so on. Every version of OpenSER/Kamailio (1.3.x/1.4.x/1.5.x) is incompatible to some degree with previous one. Fortunately, they can be installed in parallel due to different naming scheme. The curse of this project is the team/features management issues, which led project to the number of consequent forks (and one merge), which confuses end users a lot. One of popular questions from customers, is "which one from these routers should we choose - SER/OpenSER/OpenSIPs/Kamailio/SIP-Router?". I'm voting for OpenSER 1.3.4 right now - it's stable and it was proved to work reliably. Perhaps, at 2010, we may consider switching to SIP Router. -- With best regards, Peter Lemenkov. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
