Gentoo VoIP Overlay

CallWeaver is now part of the Gentoo VoIP Overlay. Please note that ebuilds from overlays do not undergo the same degree of testing as ebuilds from the main Portage tree, you are using them at your own risk. However, feel encouraged to communicate your success stories, troubles and patches either on the corresponding Gentoo bug or in #gentoo-voip on irc.freenode.com.

Installation

Unless already present install layman first. This utility manages Gentoo overlays:

emerge -va layman
echo "source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf

Then subscribe to the VoIP Overlay:

layman -f -a voip

You’re now ready to install CallWeaver. The first command synchronizes your local overlay copies:

layman -S
emerge -va callweaver

You may get errors complaining about keywords. As of 2008-07-03 you need to set the following in order to compile CallWeaver.

/etc/portage/package.unmask:

media-libs/spandsp

/etc/portage/package.keywords:

net-misc/callweaver
media-libs/spandsp
net-misc/vale
