Description aws 2012-05-19 11:23:29 CEST
this software is definitely needed as an included rpm. Routers from AVM are used very often - I think it is the leading manufactorer in Germany. ffgtk is supported by AVM.
ffgtk is in the official repository of opensuse and fedora and there is a running repository for debian systems (with derivates) and it runs very well on all this systems.

I agree as well that this rpm is in need.
I tried to build it m own but i couldnt get a capi20=> working and this is in need.

Comment 2 Florian Hubold 2012-07-02 21:01:53 CEST
No need to get "capi20=> working" whatever you mean by that ...
We already have isdn4k-utils-devel which provides this, but it doesn't contain a pkg-config .pc file so it is not detected, as can be seen:

configure:12109: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "capi20"
Package capi20 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `capi20.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'capi20' found

So if noone volunteers to take maintainership and makes the necessary changes for isdn4k-utils i'm afraid i can't add ffgtk. And i can't take on more packages, sorry.

not good news. As it is, wait and see and use as long as any other distribution. I think I look again at LMDE ...

Reassigning to bugsquad as we need an updated isdn4k-utils package first (which is also unmaintained, so chances are pretty small this will ever get fixed).

Comment 5 Christian Lohmaier 2013-05-21 04:27:07 CEST
Note that for telephony, using the SIP-connection that is also built-into most FritzBox routers probably is easier than dealing with capi (I only know of one capi-soft-phone and that is ant-phone (not packaged in mageia)

And for using just the capi via tcp, mISDN /libcapi20 can do the trick (while isdn4k-utils themselves are no longer necessary, the capi20 that is part of it needs an update).

Finally, another solution to use remote-capi is to use fbrcapi - but as that is also not packaged, more or less the same situation.

Priority should be to get updated capi20 and matching mISDN user-space capi (that then also offers a software-dsp to enable faxing) & kernel-modules into mageia. I assume the tool just needs a working capi20, so that would be covered as well.

isdn4k-utils/capi20 as shipped with mageia 3 really is outdated (still want capifs that doesn't exist for ages, and the capi-udev rules are also not working.. ISDN is dying....

You may also want to have a look at Bug #14276: "Please provide libcapi20-3 (updated for modular design supporting rcapi/remote-capi)"

Unclear why this is reported against installer. Please do review that part.

Installer is definitively wrong. I set it to "new package request"

isdn4k-utils still has the same version as in Mga1.
Besides, there hasn't been a new upstream isdn4k-utils snapshot since 27-11-07, and the ffgtk link is now dead.

IIUC, it is now replaced with "Roger-router". I didn't manage to find the source code or license.

Anyway, closing this request for isdn4k-utils as wontfix.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX
