The asterisk developers have modified the version numbering after version 1.8. They decided they will never make a version 2.0, so they dropped the 1. from the version numbers and went on to make version 10.x. At present even versions are development ones with a short support lifetime and odd ones are "LTS" (Long Term Support) versions. There are ports net/asterisk11 and net/asterisk13 for versions 11.x and 13.x which are both fully supported LTS versions. the net/asterisk port is deprecated and I plan to remove it, once I've fixed all it's dependencies(slowly working on that). Please move on to asterisk 11 or asterisk 13. link to the official documentation: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions P.S. Because there will always be more than one supported LTS available I don't plan to make a new net/asterisk port, but to always have two net/asterisk<major> ports in the tree, so everyone can choose what he likes best. -- Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org>
