Hmmm
We're running openser in production and its pretty darn stable (now)


Couple of things in no particular order
a) Openser does support mediaproxy, which is not surprising since the first release is (basically) a repackaging of ser 0.9.3
b) The database structure has changed slightly.  I spent some time working on a migration script to move stuff.  Basically, you have two options
    - Leave everything in the existing databases, and just modify the tables appropriately (location and aliases need a new column.  look at the faq)
    - set up the new databases using 'openser_mysql.sh', and dump/restore your ser data into it (use mysqldump, and hand edit the dump file.  Note that you'll need to modify your ser.cfg to point at the new stuff)
    - ok, i lied.  there is a third way.  I regenerated all our data using our provisioning scripts.  it was a good opportunity to sanitize/clean our data.
c) Openser will be keeping up with some of the more recent developments - avpops, acc, uac, just to name a few.  If you need these, you really don't have much of a choice ;-)
d) Stability is an issue (for me, at least).  I'd recommend commenting out -DF_MALLOC and uncommenting -DDBG_QMALLOC in Makefile.defs.  It worked like a charm for me


cheers

I am looking at upgrading soon, and am looking both at ser 
and openser, without wanting to open a can of worms, what is 
better, the features look pretty much the same, not sure if 
there are any changes to the underlying code, in terms of 
speed etc etc.

I like some of the features in the roadmap of ser, if anyone 
has migrated from ser to openser, and has any pointers let me 
know, would be nice to be able to go back and forth, between 
them both, but I dont think openser cfg is compatible down to 
some features.
    

I'm facing the same situation. Up to what I've seen, Openser does not
support the mediaproxy module. It has some nice features regarding NAT
with the use of the rtpproxy module. I have not upgraded yet, but I'll
give openser a try. By now, I only installed it, but have not yet
configured it. I'll tell you in a couple of days.
