General Information --------------------- Dialer systems can be very complex, and it is our view that in order to provide a quality system the installed dialer system must be consistent and purpose built. This means that only ISOs are the best option for new installations. While this in an Open Source project, and it is possible to build the packages from source, it is recommended that you acquire an ISO or DVD of the precompiled packages for installation. Our certified installation media provides all of the OSDial dependencies, pre-compiled, and verified to work flawlessly with the OSDial package. The DVD is available for download for a reasonable price from http://osdial.com. The price includes free updates using the Yum package manager until this version of OSDial reaches End-of-Life. Installation ----------------- This tar-ball is specifically created for the generation of RPM packages. Currently, only RedHat Enterprise Linux 6 and CentOS 6 and other EL6 based distrobutions are supported. Sorry, there is no support for Debian-based systems, including Ubuntu. The easiest route to building the package is to use rpmbuild. tar xzvf osdial-3.x.tgz cp ./osdial-3.x/extras/osdial.spec ~/rpmbuild/SPECS cp ./osdial-3.x.tgz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES cp ./osdial-3.x/extras/osdial-template-example.tgz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/osdial.spec WARNING: There will be an exhaustive list of unmet RPM dependencies, required for both building and installing. Most of these are not available through the mainline distrobution or 3rd-party packagers.
