net-misc/asterisk-1.6 is in a correct shape to be used according to some users. As a migration to 1.4 then to 1.6 will be hard, maybe just forgetting about 1.4 should be a good idea. I marked this bug as blocking bug 159013 because former should be closed as WONTFIX when 1.6 will be unmasked in the tree as it will be a real alternative.
Installed and worked fine but I did not do much testing. Nice to unmask so more people would test.
+ 28 Oct 2009; <chainsaw@gentoo.org> package.mask: + Remove Asterisk 1.6 mask as requested by Mounir "volkmar" Lamouri in bug + #285435. (Please note that I will file a bug to the arch teams later, once it has been in use for a week or so)
