captain grep told me it's not needed anymore, so it's gonna get removed from asterisk's DEPENDS
You mean zapata is no longer required? The description that comes with zapata is not particularly helpful, I still do not have a clue what zapata adds "Library of additional telephony related functions". Is it safe to remove zapata or did you mean that just the dependency has been obsoleted? This bug is annoying. Thx!
asterisk-1.0 makefiles don't check for zapata presence, dropped the DEPEND line
As of today, this hard version dependency still exists in the zapata ebuild. If you need zapata for whatever reason, whether or not Asterisk needs it, should this hard version link be there? I'm guessing not: I assume zapata can work with newer versions of Zaptel. I have no clue if Asterisk needs zapata if you use a Zap interface (and thus are using Zaptel). I'm testing that.
