15:49.12GGDquestion what is a good Asterisk book to get
15:55.51jsmithwww.asteriskdocs.org
15:55.59jsmithGo there, and download the free PDF of my Asterisk book
15:56.38jsmithOr buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&camp=1789&tag=jennysmithnet-20&creative=9325&path=tg/detail/-/0596009623/
16:01.07GGDfirst or second edition?

16:44.51jsmithHowdy plarsen
16:45.48plarsenHappy New Year Jared!
16:46.00plarsenHow are things in the 'burg this morning?
16:49.10plarsenjsmith: ping
16:49.30jsmithplarsen: I'm doing OK.  Happy New Year to you as well!
16:50.29plarsenThat's great. At least most of the snow is gone by now :)
16:50.47plarsenHow's the VOIP business ?
16:50.53jsmithDoing well :-)
16:51.04jsmithWe're still growing, and taking market share from the big boys
16:51.29jsmithIn fact, if our growth continues, we'll have more new endpoints connected to Asterisk than to Nortel this year
16:51.35jsmith(and we overtook Cisco last year)
16:55.59plarsenwooohooo!!
16:56.04plarsenWay to go.
16:56.15plarsenIs that US or world-wide based?
16:56.43plarsenI have a feeling the US market is slow to move away from proparitary solutions like those from Avaya
17:01.58*** join/#fredlug GGD (n=chatzill@ip72-196-241-104.dc.dc.cox.net)
17:12.53jsmithThat's in the US
17:13.05jsmithBut we seem to be growing faster outside of the US
17:13.11jsmithSo we'll see how things go
17:22.12plarsenjsmith: To me it's one of the biggest promises of OSS - "3rd world" countries.  I read an article i Linux Magazine (I think it was) where they'd created a $100 mesh network device with VOIP using OSS (and asterisk of course) to give people in that area of the world (South Africa) a way to get a phone/network connection very very cheap.
17:22.45plarsenjsmith: To me that's where the OSS "revolution" is really going on.
17:25.09jsmithI tend to agree
17:25.53jsmithI wish I had the time and budget to play with the OpenBTS stuff more
17:26.11plarsentime is my problem too
17:26.12jsmith(combining Asterisk and a software-defined radio to create an inexpensive, mobile cell tower)
17:26.23plarsenToo much stuff out there that would be fun "playing" with.
17:26.47plarsenGotta love breaking the barriers of proparitary software
17:26.51plarsenand "standards
17:26.52plarsen"
20:53.20GGDplarsen: do you mean mesh potato?
20:53.40plarsenyup - cute name they came up with
20:54.17*** join/#fredlug GGD (n=chatzill@ip72-196-241-104.dc.dc.cox.net)
20:55.27GGDi remember seeing that in one of the mags that i read about linux
20:55.29GGDlinux pro or journal
20:57.18GGDi thought it was cute too but the idea and hardware is intreeaging
20:57.30GGDintreging  ( i can't spell today)
21:10.34plarsenmumbles incohrently about ant not working ....
21:11.35jsmithAh, still stuck in Java-land I see
21:11.45jsmithThat's one thing I don't have much patience for, unfortunately
21:12.03jsmithI don't mind getting my hands dirty with VoIP and networking and DocBook and XML and a lot of technologies
21:12.12jsmithBut for some reason, Java and I just don't get along in the slightest
21:15.32plarsencompared to other languages and deployment methodologies, I have a lot less problems with java. In this case, it's not really java but a <copy> that's not done correctly. It ignores a particular file and I don't know why
21:16.22jsmithUgh...
21:16.33jsmithpermissions?  ACLs?  typo?
21:16.42jsmithfile creation date in the future?
21:16.51jsmiththrows out all the obvious answers
21:17.26plarsenit's not a target rule. It simply tells it to copy "from this dir" to "this dir" and everything underneath
21:17.33plarsenand it takes everything but this ONE key file ;)
21:18.44plarsen-rw-r-----. 1 plarsen plarsen 921 2009-12-14 14:22 coherence-cache-config.xml
21:18.53plarsenpretty much just dated on the day it was installed
21:19.48jsmithDoes it need to be marked as world readable?
21:19.52plarsenand ...
21:19.54plarsen<PROTECTED>
21:19.55plarsen<PROTECTED>
21:19.57plarsen<PROTECTED>
21:21.21plarsenhmmmm
21:22.00jsmithDoes it need slashes on the end of the dir and todir attributes?
21:23.53plarsennope ...
21:24.23plarsenI can't figure ant out - the docs are inconsistent. Some say it unconditionally copies all underlying structures, other say only if there are changes etc.
21:24.34plarsenWell, the destination is deleted before anything is copied
21:28.21plarsenHEH - ok, it's not truely recursive.
21:28.28plarsenIt only goes ONE level down
21:28.48jsmithThat might explain some things
21:29.26jsmith<rsync flags="-av --progress" todir="${output.dir}/META-INF/wlevs">
21:29.32jsmith<PROTECTED>
21:29.35jsmith</rsync>
21:29.47jsmithchuckes to himself, in Unix humor fashion
21:30.20plarsenlol
21:30.55plarsenWOW - I'm the only guy except for chanserv in the #ant channel ;)
21:31.05plarsenPretty sure I won't get an answer there ... *grin*
21:31.55jsmithHey, you could always do something like this to at least error out when the proper file doesn't get copied: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1791683/ant-force-error-on-missing-resource
21:33.09jsmithAnd, if I remember correctly, if you set the -v and -d options on the command line, it'll actually show you which files get copied, etc.
21:33.22jsmith(Don't quote me on that... it's been a long time since I used ANT)
21:34.46*** join/#fredlug GGD_ (n=chatzill@ip72-196-241-104.dc.dc.cox.net)
21:38.14plarsenjsmith: right I've been using that; but it doesn't say WHY it doesn't copy the file. It simply states what it is doing in details ;)
21:42.45plarsenI changed the pattern from * to ** - that got it !
21:45.49jsmithYet Another Pattern Matching Syntax?
21:46.58plarsenyay!! It deployed! ... wow, 2 hours to deploy 50 lines of code
21:47.05plarsenyeah - * is flat, ** is recursive
21:47.29plarsennot that intuative.
21:47.48jsmithNo, not at all
