I recently posted asterisk-lts-18 to the AUR. The next major relase of the asterisk AUR package will be Asterisk 20, the next long-term support release, sometime during or after the third week of October, 2022. The following year, in October, 2023, Asterisk 21 is anticipated to be released and it will not be a long-term support release. I want to create the asterisk-lts-20 AUR package at that time, so there will be two LTS releases in the AUR, and the asterisk package will continue to track the latest major upstream version. This entire process will be repeated for Asterisk 22 (October 2024) and 23 (October 2025). Also, when Asterisk 23 is released, the end of life/end of support for Asterisk 18 will arrive, so I will request that the asterisk-lts-18 package be deleted. See https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/ … k+Versions for complete details on the Asterisk release cycle.
In IRC (#archlinux@libera), it was suggested that I create a local metapackage asterisk-lts-20, which will be a clone of the asterisk package while it is on version 20. I'm not really sure how to do that, or how to transition to the LTS package, so I'm posting here for suggestions (threads on IRC die quickly when the conversation moves on). I have quite a bit of time before I need to do anything. I intend to post a summary of my plans in this post once they have solidified. I will then follow this model to maintain all of the currently supported LTS versions of Asterisk, in the AUR.

EDIT: So this metapackage probably won't work, since the dependency itself is an AUR package. Configuring something similar for Asterisk 19, using the current version of asterisk, pacman and thus makepkg don't know where to find the dependency. How do we include AUR packages as dependencies? I'll be asking on IRC (#archlinux@libera.chat) in the meantime.
EDIT2: pacman and makepkg require all AUR dependencies to already be installed. So I have to install asterisk to make my asterisk-19 metapackage work. So, once asterisk is on Asterisk 20, I can install my asterisk-lts-20 metapackage, which upgrading to Asterisk 21 will break (and let me know when to upload the asterisk-lts-20 full package to the AUR).
So here's my initial draft of my asterisk-lts-20 metapackage:

_pkg=asterisk
pkgname=${_pkg}-lts-20
pkgver=20.0.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='A complete PBX solution - LTS release 20 version'
arch=(x86_64 i686 aarch64 armv7h)

depends=('asterisk>=20'
'asterisk<21'
)As of today (2022-07-14), this will fail to build since the asterisk dependency is still on Asterisk 19. I do not expect to push this package to the AUR, unless someone strongly suggests that I do (basically, for about a year this metapackage and its dependency will track the same version). Once this metapackage fails because the dependency moves to Asterisk 21, I will post something similar to the following PKGBUILD:

}The actual resulting PKGBUILD will be different, as Asterisk 20 is likely to have different dependencies and optional dependencies, as well as a different configuration file list. The existing asterisk PKGBUILD will likely already cover all of this, so I'm likely to grab the latest Asterisk 20 commit (just before the Asterisk 21 commit), and only need to slightly modify that PKGBUILD for the asterisk-lts-20 PKGBUILD.
