Hi,
Being new to ser, I downloaded ser-0.9.0 and did a 'make' followed by 'make modules' and 'make install' and with a few glitches during module compilation -- which is a subject of another e-mail -- all worked fine. I was able to register my client application thru ser and place calls between two clients.
At this early stage, I'd like to verify a few things to make sure I'm on the right track...
+ Which one is the latest stable source distribution of ser: 0.8.14 or 0.9.0? The latest link points to the 0.8.14 folder which suggests this must the latest release but then there is also a 0.9.0 folder.
+ Is ser distributed in source code format only or is it also available in binary format? If it is available in source code format only, is there a way to create installable packages (i.e., binary rpm packages)?
If available, I'd like to use rpm packages since ser source distribution does not seem to support the 'make uninstall' target.
Thanks in advance,
GA

At the moment, 0.8.14 is stable! 0.9.0 is in a "preview state" - no new features, making thinks stable

The stable release will be available in rpm's and other packages. But bugfixes are not aplied to the packages - so if you want to stay up-to-date you have to checkout from cvs and compile yourself. Also if you need non-default features (e.g. radius), you have to recompile ser.
If you use debian, you can use the dpkg-buildpackage after adopting the config files in the debian directory.

Don't know - never made an rpm myself.
