I created this PKGBUILD based on the asterisk package/PKGBUILD already in the AUR. I posted a comment on the AUR page about my intentions to create the asterisk-lts package, and I changed the name of the package to asterisk-lts-18 (actually before I saw someone commenting on my post). If this package gets accepted into the AUR, I anticipate becoming the maintainer of this.
I actually have quite a vision for this package. The Asterisk Versions page describes the Asterisk release cycle. Since I intend only to run the Long Term Support (LTS) versions of Asterisk in my personal projects, having an LTS version in the AUR is important, and I think it would be useful for quite a few people. In October 2022, Asterisk 20 will be released, and it will be an LTS release. Currently the AUR asterisk package is on Asterisk 19, which is not an LTS release. Anyone tracking the asterisk package will have a major upgrade once version 20 is published to the AUR. Asterisk 19 will reach end of life on November 2¸ 2023, whereas Asterisk 18 will be end of life on October 20, 2025. The end of life for Asterisk 20 has not been published, but it will likely be in October 2027. Once Asterisk 21 (a non-LTS version) is released, I intend to create asterisk-lts-20.

I have been using the asterisk-lts-18 package for a few months, updating it when a new version of Asterisk 18 is released. Today when I was updating it I noticed a new configuration file, aeap.conf. I had to add that to the _confs array in order for makepkg to complete successfully. When I installed the package with pikaur -U asterisk-lts-18-18.12.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst, it saved my Asterisk configuration in /etc/asterisk renaming my modified files with the .pacsave suffix. I had to rename all of the standard .conf files to the .pacnew suffix, and then move my .pacsave files back into place. That wasn't too difficult of a task, but I hadn't had to do that in previous upgrades until the new config file was added. Any suggestions on how to avoid that, or merely have the install portion put the new versions with the .pacnew suffix would be appreciated.
That has been the only issue thus far, it has been working pretty well otherwise.

I think you can replace that with
make MENUSELECT_CFLAGS= OPTIMIZE= DEBUG= ASTVARRUNDIR=/run/asterisk NOISY_BUILD=1
Which also disables adding -O3 and -g3 to CFLAGS and sets the run time directory to be under /run instead of /var/run so it does not need to be fixed in package. Taken from https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/aste … erisk.spec
Note you do need to then pass the same options to make in package().
chmod 1777 "${pkgdir}/tmp"
Why package an empty /tmp ? I would also remove the empty /run/asterisk
Have you considered dropping the .install and adding the /etc/asterisk /var/lib/asterisk /var/log/asterisk /var/spool/asterisk ownership adjustments to the tmpfiles.d snippet? The systemd service could fix up /var/lib/asterisk /var/log/asterisk but that would still leave /etc/asterisk and /var/spool/asterisk.
g asterisk /usr/bin/asterisk
u asterisk /usr/bin/asterisk "Asterisk PBX and telephony" /run/asterisk
The group creation line is superfluous as sysusers will create a matching group for the user by default.

...
These are all critiques of the original asterisk package, as I didn't modify any of the parts you mentioned. I'm happy to make these changes, but I don't want to diverge too much from the original package. I'm sure the maintainers and contributors did it this way for some reasons, though I myself can't explain why. I have come quite late to the party, and I was actually a little surprised the LTS version wasn't already in the AUR.
Also, the original asterisk PKGBUILD was first released in January 2008, so it is very likely to contain old ways of doing things. I've linked this topic in a comment on the AUR page. I'm hoping to foster some discussion here, if I may.

I don't recall putting that there (I typically use the symbolic mode notation rather than the octal), and that link doesn't appear to show that it was removed. I can definitely remove it, I don't see it in the current asterisk PKGBUILD.

Hi there loqs,
I'm one of the current maintainers for the AUR asterisk package. Thank you very much for the above suggestions.
I was always wanting to get rid of the .install file, but was a bit apprehensive to add the /etc/asterisk /var/lib/asterisk /var/log/asterisk /var/spool/asterisk ownership adjustments to the tmpfiles.d snippet.
I think the only issue we're going to sit with is if there is a permissions change on upgrade that all the config files are suffixed with .pacsave instead of the new ones suffixed with .pacnew.
I'm also not sure how we can tackle this.

- # Remove stray /tmp - rmdir "$pkgdir/tmp" -
But that's not the same as the chmod command you recommended removing, that's why I missed it when I scanned through the commit you cited. I don't see the rmdir, and I have removed the chmod.

The current situation as I understand it is:
/etc/asterisk and all its contents are packaged owned root:root during the build.
On installation the .install file calls systemd-sysusers to create the asterisk user then recursively chowns /etc/asterisk to asterisk:asterisk
On update the config files will be subject to backup file handling according to [1]. After that /etc/asterisk will be recursively chowned.
On removal modified config files will be renamed with the .pacsave extension [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … e#.pacsave
With the use of tmpfiles:
/etc/asterisk and all its contents are packaged owned root:root during the build.
On installation systemd-sysusers is called by a hook to create the asterisk user then systemd-tmpfiles is called by a hook recursively chowns /etc/asterisk to asterisk:asterisk
On update the config files will be subject to backup file handling according to [1]. After that /etc/asterisk will be recursively chowned.

@ectospasm I'm about to make the tmpfiles change on my end aswell, but one thing I noticed is all config files are globally readable ... we should probably decide if we're going to 0750 the /etc/asterisk directory, or if we're going to set 0640 on the config files.
Many of these config files can contain secrets and its probably not in the best interest of security that they be world readable.
Let me know what you think.

That sounds like a good idea to me. I don't think there is anything in there that needs the execute bit, so I was going to set the permissions to 0640 unless you're aware of something I am not. But my asterisk.tmpfiles doesn't have an entry for /etc/asterisk, could you provide the example? The directory itself should be 0750, but its contents should be 0640.

nkukard wrote:@ectospasm I'm about to make the tmpfiles change on my end aswell, but one thing I noticed is all config files are globally readable ... we should probably decide if we're going to 0750 the /etc/asterisk directory, or if we're going to set 0640 on the config files.
Many of these config files can contain secrets and its probably not in the best interest of security that they be world readable.
Let me know what you think.
That sounds like a good idea to me. I don't think there is anything in there that needs the execute bit, so I was going to set the permissions to 0640 unless you're aware of something I am not. But my asterisk.tmpfiles doesn't have an entry for /etc/asterisk, could you provide the example? The directory itself should be 0750, but its contents should be 0640.
Here is what I was thinking...
d /etc/asterisk 0750 asterisk asterisk -
z /etc/asterisk/*.adsi 0640 asterisk asterisk
z /etc/asterisk/*.ael 0640 asterisk asterisk
z /etc/asterisk/*.conf 0640 asterisk asterisk
z /etc/asterisk/*.lua 0640 asterisk asterisk
d /run/asterisk 0750 asterisk asterisk -
d /var/lib/asterisk 0750 asterisk asterisk -
d /var/log/asterisk 0750 asterisk asterisk -
d /var/spool/asterisk 0750 asterisk asterisk -

Should we also include *.pacsave and *.pacnew? I'm not sure what happens to the permissions (if anything) when pacman creates these.

Well, .pacnew wouldn't contain any secrets and as far as I can tell from the docs loqs shared, the .conf files are renamed which should preserve perms. I think we're good there.
If you're in agreement with the above, I can push that change with the update thats pending so long.

LGTM (Looks Good To Me). I'll make the change in my local copy.

Hrmmm, seems we may have a problem...

It is mostly commonly used for volatile and temporary files and directories (such as those located under /run/, /tmp/, /var/tmp/, the API file systems such as /sys/ or /proc/, as well as some other directories below /var/).
Are you two sure using tmpfiles for the asterisk folder in /etc is a good idea ?
If yes, did you ensure the age parameter is set correctly so the /etc/asterisk folder won't be cleaned (removed) ?
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
clean chroot building not flexible enough ?

I believe so, that is what loqs suggested.
As you can see above, age is set to -.

I noticed when installing the resulting package, I get a few warnings about differing permissions:
warning: directory permissions differ on /etc/asterisk/
filesystem: 750 package: 755
warning: directory permissions differ on /run/asterisk/
filesystem: 750 package: 755
warning: directory permissions differ on /tmp/
filesystem: 1777 package: 755
warning: directory permissions differ on /var/lib/asterisk/

warning: directory permissions differ on /var/log/asterisk/
filesystem: 750 package: 755
warning: directory permissions differ on /var/spool/asterisk/
filesystem: 750 package: 755
It looks like the tmpfiles hook runs well after this, is there any way to avoid these warnings to begin with?
