The YATE has been ported to FreeBSD

Published on March 24, 2007 in Common, FreeBSD, Projects and Software.

An updated YATE port is available for FreeBSD. I hope it will also build fine on all BSD variants; haven’t tested. Please report your success and, or failure on other variants.

WWW: http://YATE.null.ro

To install/upgrade the ports download:

To extract, build and install:

# zcat <path>/yate-devel.shar.gz |sh
# zcat <path>/spandsp-devel.patch.gz |patch -d/ -p1
# portupgrade -f -o comms/spandsp-devel spandsp
# cd /usr/ports/net/yate-devel
# make install

or

# make package

Before running csup and, or cvsup do create and, or update a refuse file:

# cat <<EOT >>/var/db/sup/refuse
ports/comms/spandsp-devel*
ports/net/yate-devel*
EOT

A yate ports collection for FreeBSD created by Alex Rodin ‘alex DOT rodin AT gmail DOT com’ is also/already available in the yate mailing list archive. Kindly note, that this one is different and also includes, though small, but the following enhancements over the latest CVS head:

  • Added support to run daemon under NON-root uid and, or gid on Unix systems.
  • Module loading and, or initialization messages moved to highest debug level.
  • Added support for aliases in regfile; the ‘alias->number’ are now aliases.
  • Added support to show ip.add.re.ss:port for connections in rmanager module.
  • Updated and, or up-to-date manpages, README and INSTALL files.

I’m not that expert in SIP, H.323, IAX2, Jingle and other such protocols and, or PSTN technology, so I request you to please post your relevant and, or technical questions to Null Team only; the creators of Yate at http://yate.null.ro/pmwiki/index.php?n=Main.MailList

    Well, there was a bug in port’s Makefile; I have corrected it and have
    updated the pkg-plist file accordingly. Please down load and reinstall
    the ports again — http://cto.homelinux.net/~bsd/?p=9

    To rebuild:


    # cd /usr/ports/comms/spandsp-devel
    # make deinstall
    # cd /usr/ports/net/yate-devel
    # make clean rmconfig deinstall reinstall

    Cheers!
