    I got all excited by this, but checked http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/ and see it only has 1.2 or 1.4 packages. I’m using 1.6 :-(

    Thanks weave;
    
This repository have the stable version of asterisk and for those who do not want to download asterisk code and compile by themselve. 
    

    By the way if you have package installation repository link for Asterisk 1.6 please post it. 
    

    Cheers

    I added the following lines to the repo name, which I labeled [asterisk] to avoid conficting packages:
    

    ==========
    
disable=*
    
enablepkg=*asterisk*,*dahdi*
    
=========
    

    This way you can change from stable to bleeding or testing for asterisk only as well.

    Hi, I’ve install Asterisk on CentOS 4.5. It show successfully but in /etc/rc.d/init.d doesn’t have asterisk so that I can start or stop asterisk by the command below :
    
/etc/rc.d/init.d/asterisk start
    
/etc/rc.d/init.d/asterisk stop
    

    Have you ever met this problem ? Please tell my why, thank you.
