Description: | In November 2010 for Asterisk 10, revision [294740|https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/commit/893ca656af419e58c8dd675274d4a4d59b22cc03] changed how the documentation is created. Because of that, three binary utilities _rubber_, _catdvi_, and _kpsewhich_ are not required anymore. However, even today, the script {{./configure}} searches for those tools. The attached patch removes them.
In April 2006 for Asterisk 1.4, when the new build system was [introduced|https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/blame/f824cd6a13ee69a1c9d56380557e0ade56141d41/configure.ac], several binary utilities were searched for. One of those is _compress_ which was never used in the Asterisk project. Perhaps the authors of that change scanned the whole source code and found a reference in the Makefile for the audio codec GSM. However, the target _dist_ which references that tool, is not used in the Asterisk project; that was just for distribution of that library itself. There are more tools which are not referenced as {{$(prog)}} in the Makefile and scripts correctly. However, those four utilities are open—not found—after the user ran the script {{./contrib/scripts/install_prereq}} on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, for example. Not to confuse the user, (just) those four utilities are removed. Now, everything in the script {{./configure}} is satisfied, except for alternatives (like wget|curl, xmllint|xmlstarlet), Git, [Alembic|https://alembic.sqlalchemy.org], and [SoX|http://sox.sourceforge.net]. The latter is used in the now deprecated module _res_monitor_. Git is contributor centric and therefore not a requisite for a normal user of Asterisk. Alembic is not required to build a module. | ||
Comments: | By: Asterisk Team (asteriskteam) 2020-04-07 12:41:28.498-0500 Thanks for creating a report! The issue has entered the triage process. That means the issue will wait in this status until a Bug Marshal has an opportunity to review the issue. Once the issue has been reviewed you will receive comments regarding the next steps towards resolution. A good first step is for you to review the [Asterisk Issue Guidelines|https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Issue+Guidelines] if you haven't already. The guidelines detail what is expected from an Asterisk issue report. Then, if you are submitting a patch, please review the [Patch Contribution Process|https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Patch+Contribution+Process]. Please note that once your issue enters an open state it has been accepted. As Asterisk is an open source project there is no guarantee or timeframe on when your issue will be looked into. If you need expedient resolution you will need to find and pay a suitable developer. Asking for an update on your issue will not yield any progress on it and will not result in a response. All updates are posted to the issue when they occur.
