New person questions

I am new to AllStarLink.

It looks like there is not much documentation for a beginner.

After I loaded the Asterisk image, I did what I always do when I load a new distribution.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

it took forever to get all the updates to my Raspberry Pi.

Now I am wondering if that was the right thing to do. I peaked over to the development page and saw there were no updates to the code since November. And not much before that in 2018 and 2017. Should I not update and upgrade?

Is there any development going on?
Will it only work on the old version of Raspbian and not the newest versions and files?

Is there a wish list of things to fix/upgrade?

Is anyone working to make it run on a Raspberry Pi 4?

Am I asking the wrong questions?

Kip,

Welcome to Allstarlink. Since no one has responded to your questions I will do my best to
answer.
Anyone is free to jump in an add to my response. Se my comments to your questions.

I am new to AllStarLink.

It looks like there is not much documentation for a beginner.

Have you looked at the wiki? https://wiki.allstarlink.org Lots of good information there.

After I loaded the Asterisk image, I did what I always do when I load a
new distribution.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

it took forever to get all the updates to my Raspberry Pi.

Yes, and that is fine. It is updating any installed software to the latest version, but not
app_rpt / Asterisk / DAHDI

Now I am wondering if that was the right thing to do.

Yes, it was! :slight_smile:

I peaked over to

and upgrade?

As you can see, not much has been done since 2017/2018.
There are a few folks working quietly and slowly behind the scenes.
Since app_rpt is an open source we can always use more folks to help out and contribute.
Especially if you know how! :slight_smile:

Is there any development going on?

Yes, more details to come sooner than later!

Will it only work on the old version of Raspbian and not the newest
versions and files?

This has been tested however we have chosen to stay with a stable LTS kernel at this time.

Is there a wish list of things to fix/upgrade?

Yes and in progress.

Is anyone working to make it run on a Raspberry Pi 4?

The current image should run on a Pi4.

Am I asking the wrong questions? Nope, never. I hope this information helps.
