perhaps a solution could be found by #ifdefing the deprecated code around say, DEPRECATED_1.2, and then making it a compile time option in the makefile to either build with backward compatibility or to have it removed for those who'd prefer it without the deprecated code.

i'm making the big assumption here however that it's as simple as wrapping ifdefs around the code which needs to be taken out.

that sounds to me a brilliant idea. that way it will be possible to try out and test a clean 1.2 installation..


I think this would be quite useful, particularly when we go to rip it
all out in the dev branch post 1.2.  A patch to bugs.digium.com would be
much appretiated.  It would of course default to being included in the
1.2 release branch, but people would have the option to turn it off at
compile time.  Thanks in advance for the contribution.


Let us take Roy's advice, let's not add code to 1.2. Save that for a
1.2.1 release. It may be a feature add, but let's not delay the current
1.2 release further.

so could we then take it that the use of #ifdefs will solve the issue and keep those who need backward compatibility just as happy as those who want the deprecated code removed ? that would end this thread so we can all get back to concentrating on a more stabler release version of asterisk.

for the sake of the uninitated masses, perhaps the compile time makefile option should by default build with backward compatibility, so as to ease the transition from earlier releases to 1.2.
