Comments on Asterisk Installation on Debian 7 (Wheezy)

Thanx for this howto,

But Asterisk is already in debian, in stable, wheezy-backports, jessie and sid.

May its also handy to show this here.

on a wheezy system and you want Asterisk, you can do.

debian wheezy:        apt-get install asterisk   (1.8.13.1)

Add the wheezy-backports for this one:
wheezy-backports:   apt-get install -t wheezy-backports asterisk   ( 11.13.0 )

and lastest version from sid...  (13.0.0)
Add the sid sources.
apt-get build-dep asteriks
apt-get source asteriks -b

dpkg -i ... the debs. or add the  "dir"  to your apt sources.
and install with apt-get.

Pro of this is, when you upgrade from wheezy to jessie or later on the new testing/sid
its al already in Debian, so upgradeing is much easier.

This post was helpfull for me,now i look on how to configure voicemail to email on asterisk.

Could someone provide a link on how to make it please.

Thanks!
