From SIPfoundry sipXecs IP PBX, The Open Source SIP PBX for Linux - Calivia

Install Java 1.5

If setting up a new system, you only need to add everything to /etc/portage/package.keywords (taken verbatim from the Gentoo Java Guide). If you are upgrading, follow the Gento Java Upgrade Guide and make sure java-check-environment does not report any errors.

For a fresh Gentoo install:

cat <<EOF>> /etc/portage/package.keywords

Install Layman

Gentoo uses a program called Layman to manage portage tree overlays. If you do not yet have it installed, you will need to before you can setup the sipX overlay.

emerge --ask app-portage/layman

Be sure the follow the post-installation instructions to complete setup.

The sipX overlay is a Subversion overlay. To use it, you will also need to have Subversion installed.

emerge --ask subversion

Setup the sipX Overlay

You can use Layman to install the sipX overlay on your system.

layman -o file:///tmp/overlay.xml -a sipx

Configure Portage for masked Apache 2.2

Configure for CDRs (optional)

Building support for CDRs will pull in Rubygems and other additional dependencies.

cat <<EOF>>/etc/portage/package.use

Emerge sipXpbx and all its dependencies

Emerging net-misc/sipxpbx will resolve all required dependencies and install all sipX packages.

emerge -av sipxpbx
