I notice that emerge asterisk persists in using a webserver ( apache ) to install. AFAIK asterisk dont need any webserver to operate , but there exist some web app to operate voicemail ( not asterisk itself ). I did emerge individual packages from the dependency list until there was only apache (which I didnt want to have installed) . Then I did emerge -u --nodep asterisk Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: I think the ebuild should be constructed to allow asterisk be installed without any webserver.
webapp stuff has been removed from ebuild
