I was about to ask this question when I figured out the answer by combing through the makefile. I am posting this anyway because I think it's good to know, and I didn't find any threads that speak to it when I searched the list history.
My Question was: When updating Asterisk, the sound tarballs for the selected codecs are not retreived until running make install. This adds unnecessarily to the downtime when updating versions because Asterisk has to be stopped while running make install. I wanted a simple way to pre-fetch these files to a local repository to speed up the actual install routine, instead of slowing it by the arbitrary duration of the fetch/download process which robs valuable NINES from uptime :-) I discovered that after running make, you can run 'make sounds' before shutting down the service. This cuts all of the download time from the install process minimizing service downtime to a fraction of what it would othewise be. -Karl _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
