Hi Peng,

One of the things I wanted to achieve in this cycle was getting 1.6 into
Karmic.  There are currently no plans to try and introduce freeswitch
into karmic.  That is however on my to-do list for karmic+1.  Debian is
also trying to package Freeswitch, but is currently experiencing some
issues caused by both additional dependencies, and cleaning up
installation locations.

A vanilla Ubuntu Server is quite lean and stable, I have sites running
25-300 extensions with just Asterisk and not having openSER in conjunction.

If you feel something should be included in the Ubuntu VOIP stack, I
would ask that you raise a bug on launchpad and subscribe the
ubuntu-voip team.  However, It is possibly too late in the cycle for
anything non-crucial to get into Karmic.

Kind Regards,
Dave Walker
