Much more than an answering machine, VOCP transforms your computer into a full-featured call answering and voice messaging system. With the VOCP System, you can create an unlimited number of voicemail, pager and command shell boxes which callers will navigate using their touch tone telephone. You can send and receive faxes, listen to your email using text-to-speech, filter and redirect calls based on caller ID information, run programs through the telephone and more.
i will be trying to create an ebuild for this, but i'm not a perl expert and i don't have a voice modem...
Created attachment 55212 [details] sys-apps/vocp/vocp-0.9.3.ebuild Initial attempt to create an ebuild for VOCP 0.9.3. Still requires a ton of configuration once it's installed, but at least it gets the dependencies & apps onto the machine.
Created attachment 55213 [details, diff] sys-apps/vocp/files/install-vocp-0.9.3.patch Patches the install_vocp.pl so that it: a) doesn't cause sandbox violations; and b) doesn't harass the user constantly.

*** Bug 162702 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This package seems popular. perl team, care to add the attached perl packages to the tree?
* 'enewgroup()' called from 'compile()' which is not a pkg_* function. * Package fails at QA and at life. Please file a bug. See bug 124680
I'll take care of the perl modules, minus Data-Dumper, which was for a version older than the one that came with perl-5.8.8. If anyone comes along behind me and doesn't think I'm moving fast enough, still don't use the perl modules from this bug (sorry James, but they break all the rules: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/perl/perl-herd.xml )
all set
(In reply to comment #11) > (sorry James, but they break all the rules) <shrug> It's all good - I was just trying to do a quick job of getting it working. Used g-cpan.pl to generate the ebuilds, and promptly forgot that I'd even posted this stuff here until the other day... I'm not offended (or really all that concerned) about what happens with the stuff I've provided. Hope it helps a bit, at least. ;)

Use the one here, update the one here or use one in the dev-perl tree and change the RDEPEND in the ebuild?
Created attachment 114582 [details] net-dialup/vocp/vocp-0.9.3.ebuild The proposed ebuild is way to thin to add it to the tree. Things like I wanna see in it before adding to the tree are: 1) install the necessary/useful programs included in $S/prog/bin 2) either install the web application (careful, the SLOT must be 0) or have a separate ebuild to install it I fixed some things in the ebuild (like don't install the install script since we supposed to do it at emerge time?), but this is to hairy for me to properly fix it, especially since I don't have a personal interest in seeing this into the tree. Someone with vested interest should refine it further and if it is good enough I will add it to the tree.
Created attachment 114584 [details, diff] net-dialup/vocp/files/vocp-0.9.3-install.patch Corrected version into install script.
The last release has been made on February 06, 2003. Last thread in vocp-users maillist named "Is VOCP dead?" (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=48A495F8.5080708%40ionic.de&forum_name=vocp-users) has no answer from developers. Project is obviously dead.
If someone still wants this, please file a new bug with an improved ebuild, see the points mentioned above as well as introduce EAPI 5 and do proper testing; however, without an upstream it really does not seem worth even trying to add this very old software. Unless someone is up for forking this; but I doubt so, because this is about old voice modems.
