[ATrpms-users] Dahdi w/ Oslec

Hey Axel,
Thanks for the post. So after further looking (I admit now I don't know
much about rpm building yet!) I see a few things:

I have only ever done it manually and as patch to rpms using this method:
http://www.rowetel.com/ucasterisk/oslec.html#install_dahdi

It seems Tzafrir Cohen has a git repo with a bit of code that can make a nice
patch that actually creates the kernel echo files etc and writes them in the
dahdi source dir to build similarly to the rowetel link:
http://git.tzafrir.org.il/?p=dahdi-extra.git;a=summary

I am unclear about the need for the oslec kmdl, it can't be just included
in the dahdi rpm?

How is it intended that one deploys and uses the rpm you provide?
It doesn't have any deps or provides?

Does one handle getting the user space tools on his own, the digium ones
are rather tailored to their build methods.

lastly, the testing rpm for your latest build added and "extra" dir in the
module path under the kernel, was that by mistake?

Thanks!
