I tried to use the 1.2.x RPMs and they would not work for me
attempting to use them with an Eicon Diva Server card and Melware's

patched with BRIStuff patches, which I have assume causes
incompatibilities.

Why is the a problem? The bristuff zaptel patch is a really small and
non-intrussive one. The bristuff Asterisk patch, though, includes a
complete reimplementation of chan_capi (the Junghanns' original
chan_capi), which I heard noone really uses.

Specifically, some simple AGI script I run to send and receive faxes with chan_capi did not work anymore.

Both you and Axel are right about rebuilding the RPM of course. Matter of fact I always strongly prefer packages that come from (trusted) yum repositories. However, in this special case if I have to rebuild the package every time I don't see much advantage over a standard source install, which is very quick and simple. I just don't want to spend time analyzing a spec file to see which patches are applied and, if needed, back them out and build again and see if my stuff works again. It would be worth it if I had more than a single server running Asterisk.
