trixbox 2.8 BETA
We are always trying to balance trixbox between bleeding edge features and rock solid stability. For the most part this works very well. I know a few people would like features sooner but we have to make sure they don't break anything.
We have been testing Asterisk 1.6 and DAHDI (the replacement for zaptel) since they came out last year. I am happy to say they are coming along quite nicely. Digium has worked hard on 1.6 with a lot of attention paid to reliability and scalability. I am happy to say our testing shows Asterisk 1.6 is ready for prime time!
We are still working out what will be in the next major release of trixbox but it's clear Asterisk 1.6 will be part of it. So now we need to get as much real world testing as possible on 1.6. This BETA is trixbox 2.6 with Asterisk 1.6. There are no other new features in the first BETA of trixbox 2.8. We will add more features as we go.
The status screen doesn't work in this release so don't be alarmed when it shows asterisk as stopped. You can log any other bugs in the bug tracker. Just make sure you mark them as BETA.
As always don't use this release on a production machine and don't expect future software upgrades to work on this release. You will have to reinstall once the production version of 2.8 comes out.

Is there a beta Repo or directory of SRPMs ?
Also added to trixbox.leadmon.net
You can access the images vi rSync, FTP, or HTTP.
Info on how to rSync is in this thread:

As always locally generated MD5 checksums are available, as well as the enhanced SHA256 checksums for all files in the archive.
Andrew, Not only did you
Andrew,
Not only did you forget to mention where you got these RPMs (hint: I wrote them for AsteriskNOW), you have yet to respond to the question James asked. Have you published the SRPMs anywhere?
Thanks Jason
Hey Jason,
We didn't forget. We use a lot of SRPMs from a lot of sources. I wish I could personally give credit to all the work people have done on all the thousands of packages that make up trixbox. Thanks for making SRPMs for Asterisk. That saved us a lot of time on this release. We did of course make some changes to them. We needed to add support for Sangoma, OpenVox, SpanDSP (FAX), and all the other features trixbox users are accustomed to. Take a look. Maybe you can roll some of our changes back into the Digium spec files.
The SRPMs are in the usual location.

Thank you Andrew. To be
Thank you Andrew.
To be clear, I'm not trying to have my ego stroked or anything. It just felt like a slap in the face (to me personally) to see a post that could be summed up as "2.8 beta is 2.6 plus new Asterisk and DAHDI packages", with an implication that Fonality had spent a lot of time doing the work. I'll be honest - I'm quite happy to see trixbox switching. There's always been a lot of fragmentation in the packaging world, and I think having something considered the "base" is a good thing. If nothing else, it shows me that I've done something right.
As for the SRPMs, those appear to have been just put there. If I'm wrong, I certainly apologize for that. I did indeed look for them several times. The version of repoview you have installed is extremely old, so it may not be doing the "Right Thing" all the time.. I have a few small suggestions for you (and others who may read this and decide to use them), if I may. You should consider modifying the version strings to remove any confusion or potential conflict (perhaps just change the release from "1_centos5" to "1_centos5.trixbox" or something). I don't know what type of changes you make to these packages, so I don't know if it would be difficult to do so, but I would also recommend updating from upstream (me..) regularly - especially with AsteriskNOW 1.5.0 being released yesterday.
minor changes
The only change was with the dahdi-kmod package, as it was originally building two packages, one being completely empty, that would produce errors during install via anaconda. AsteriskNOW even had the errors during intsall. I was testing via the text install, so I don't know if it appeared in the X install. Just the spec file was changed. Same with the asterisk16 base package, but only in regards to provides/obsoletes, which was easier to change than the slew of other trixbox specific RPMs. The src RPMS were built today, as I normally only use -bb with rpmbuild.
I'll look into making sure the rpm version strings change before final release.

Problem getting asterisk to answer incoming call from PSTN line
Hi,
I wiped out my AsteriskNow machine and tried to install Trixbox into it. Had problem installing asterisk 2.6.2.2 on my Compaq Presario desktop b/c it did not see the SATA disk drive so I downloaded the 2.8 Beta. However, I can not get asterisk to answer my PSTN line. Dahdi show channels returned nothing. It used to work in AsteriskNow when Zaptel was used. Below are my conf files settings. Any helps would be appreciated.

Can't run package manager
After installing 2.8 Beta I can't seem to run the package manager to add Wanpipe drivers. When I run the manager I get an error - Error: the XML response that was returned from the server is invalid.
Received:
But the error level is blank and with my limited level of linux knowledge I am lost at this point. Does anyone have an answer. Thanks
rovakl, My guess is you have
rovakl,
My guess is you have to do it by hand as there is no repo packages.. Follow the sangoma wiki OR message marc.sangoma on here he may be able to give you some instructions.
Please disregard
Thanks.
wanpipe drivers
For the 2.8 beta, you can download the drivers from here:
ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/linux/custom/yannick/RPMS/RPMS_trixbox-2.8....
These drivers will be included in the next beta build.

Re 2.8 beta delay on incoming calls and transfers
Hi. I am using 2.8 beta on one of our servers and have been testing on one of our small offices so that we can get feedback on issues. I might say I am very happy with it except it seems to have quite a long delay in answering the calls coming into it and also on transfer. If you transfer a call and hang up it takes up to about 10 secs before the call is delibvered to new extension. I thought this might be due to some scripts from a restore when I was building the box so I built another box and only connected the extns and the IAX2 trunk. The same thing occurs. I have the same physical boxes for both these which are dual core 3.2MHz IBM's and also have a version on same physicals with 2.6.2 running. No delays on the 2.6.2 machine.
It seems to pause while doing the dialparties.agi scripts. see below
Hoping someone can help.AGI Script recordingcheck completed, returning 0AGI Script dialparties.agi completed, returning 0

New Trixbox-2.8.0Beta2 install fails with error
I tried the same - same error. When I investigated deeper, I found out, that the file xen....... is missing in the ISO (by using MagicISO). So I added the rpm manually to the ISO-image - now I got an error, that kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.i686.rpm is missing. I also added this rpm, but now I couldnt even boot the resulting image - it gave a checksum error. Is there a chance to get a complete image (I know, its beta, but I should at least be able to install it)?
Regards
Franz X. Maier
Can you explain the steps
Can you explain the steps your taking to reproduce the error, I have it installed and running in VirtualBOX. BTW you can't just drop in files there are databases and checksums etc...
trixbox 2.8 beta2 doesn't install
I take the originally downloaded ISO-Image and insert manually downloaded rpms into /trixbox, where all other rpms are located (by using MagicISO). Then I get the checksum error. If I don't insert the xen rpm and the kernel-xen rpm, I can boot, but not install, because these two rpms are missing (which is true, when I look into the original /trixbox-folder by using MagicISO: no such rpms in /trixbox). One additional note: I use the sataraid option on install!

Hi,
Trixbox-2.8.0-Beta2 ISO has the installation problems,
If the target server has a digius TE212 card installed, the trixbox installation fails.
If you remove the hardware and install the trixbox it works successfully.

Trixbox-2.8.0-Beta2 FAX Success both incoming and outgoing
Hi Guys,
The Trixbox 2.8 has to new fax applicaions SendFAX and RecieveFAX.
Both these applicaions are working fine, no issues at all, RecieveFAX works straightway
out-of-box after fixing the bug. That is, fax application name in macro [macro-faxreceive] in extensions.conf to "SendFAX".
for sending a fax use the following guide.
http://docs.digium.com/FAX/fax_for_asterisk_admin_manual.pdf
It worked successfully for me.
My current issue is the faxes can only be sent and received at max speed of 9600bps.
I have used the set variable to FAX_FORCE_V17=1 which is supposed to run at 14400bps but is not running at that speed.
Can anyone share the light on this??

Hi.
Running 2.8 beta2 and also having delays when making transfers. Is it possible to fix it somehow?
