Asterisk 11.4.0 is now available and Messinet Secure Services has prepared RPMs for Fedora 18 & 19 as well as Enterprise Linux 6.  These RPMs include updates from branches/11 of the upstream Subversion repository.

The RPMs are in the "mss-testing" channel of the Fedora & Enterprise Linux RPM Reopository.

Update 2012-04-17:  The planned downtime has been canceled as Red Hat Bug #947539 has been fixed in the Fedora 17 & 18 kernels by Josh Boyer.

Messinet Secure Services is planning a service downtime for 2013-04-18 in order to troubleshoot a potentially failing hard drive on one of the servers in Chicago.  The downtime is expected to begin around 9:00 AM CDT and last for up to 4 hours.  During this time, access to ALL services will be suspended.

Asterisk 11.3.0 is now available and Messinet Secure Services has prepared RPMs for Fedora 18 & 19 as well as Enterprise Linux 6.  These RPMs include updates from branches/11 of the upstream Subversion repository.

The RPMs are in the "mss-testing" channel of the Fedora & Enterprise Linux RPM Reopository.

As we have completed the transition to Fedora 18, Messinet Secure Services will no longer provide RPMs for Fedora 17.  Of course, the spec files and build tools will remain available for use.  We will continue to build RPMs for Enterprise Linux 6 and Fedora 18, and 19. See the Fedora & Enterprise Linux RPM Repository for more information on how to use the repository.

Messinet Secure Services has competed the transition to Fedora 18 on all core servers and workstations. Thank you for your patience along the way.

By popular demand, Messinet Secure Services has added ​Tzafrir Cohen's extra modules to it's dahdi-linux-kmod packages.  These packages have been rebuilt with the additional kernel modules for Enterprise Linux 6, Fedora 17, 18, and 19 and are now available in the Fedora & Enterprise Linux RPM Repository.

For the time being, building these modules requires disabling parallel builds with subsequent changes to the spec files.

​Messinet Secure Services has begun to build signed kernel modules for Fedora 18 and the dahdi-linux-kmod package.  The initial changes to the spec file are shown here. Beginning with the Fedora 18 builds of dahdi-linux-kmod-2.6.2-0.2.rc1 (and greater), the kernel modules will be signed with the "Messinet Secure Services kernel module signing key."  See the Fedora & Enterprise Linux RPM Repository for more information.

​Beginning with Fedora 18's implementation of UEFI Secure Boot (Fedora references: EFI, Secure Boot), Messinet Secure Services has begun to build signed kernel module binaries for packages such as dadhi-linux-kmod. For UEFI Secure Boot enabled systems to be able to load these kernel modules, the "Messinet Secure Services kernel module signing key" must be installed into the system's database of trusted certificates using a utility such as ​mokutil.

See the Fedora & Enterprise Linux RPM Repository for more information.

The ability to begin building signed third party kernel modules is based in large part on Josh Boyer's excellent work on the upstream Fedora kernel build process and his spec file documentation along the way.  Thanks, Josh.

Asterisk 11.2.0 is now available and Messinet Secure Services has prepared RPMs for Fedora 17 & 18 as well as Enterprise Linux 6.  These RPMs include updates from branches/11 of the upstream Subversion repository.

The RPMs are in the "mss-testing" area of the Messinet Secure Services RPM Repository so as to not conflict with upstream Asterisk RPMs from Fedora, Red Hat, CentOS, etc.
