Re: [reSIProcate-users] building repro----dns/AresDns


I think the merging option was already explored a while back and didn't
pan out.  I would support an ares name change - something like
resip-ares.

I believe this was already discussed some time ago and I am strongly in 
favour of either:

a) using a different name for our fork of ares, or

b) merging our changes back into the official ares code, and making use 
of SONAME to ensure the correct library is present at runtime

This issue is going to be more important when I release my B2BUA binary,

people will be trying to run it on UNIX systems and running into 
problems like this.  It is also something we need to fix if we ever want

reSIProcate to be packaged for Debian and Red Hat.

Regards,

Daniel
