In case you missed the previous emails on the matter, here is the recap of this change:- This specifically (and only) affects the built copy of the FreeSWITCH software - the binaries that turn Linux into FreeSWITCH instantly.- It does not impact actively running instances or change the process for accessing the open-source code, which will continue to be freely available on GitHub.- It may affect how you obtain FreeSWITCH dependencies or FreeSWITCH packages from our package repositories such as our Debian repository.- The changes do not affect our FreeSWITCH Enterprise method of authenticating.Working with Repos------------------### Available to the community at large:Click [here](https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Debian) to see more about installing or compiling the public version of FreeSWITCH. shellapt-get update && apt-get install -y gnupg2 wget lsb-releasewget -O - https://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian-release/fsstretch-archive-keyring.asc | apt-key add - echo deb http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian-release/ lsb_release -sc main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freeswitch.listecho deb-src http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian-release/ lsb_release -sc main >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freeswitch.list # you may want to populate /etc/freeswitch at this point.# if /etc/freeswitch does not exist, the standard vanilla configuration is deployedapt-get update && apt-get install -y freeswitch-meta-allFreeSWITCH™ is now installed and can be accessed withshell FreeSwitch CLIfs_cli -rRS### Must be a subscriber to access FreeSWITCH Enterprise:Click [here](https://freeswitch.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=FREESWITCH&title=Debian+10+Buster+%28applies+for+Stretch%29+for+FreeSWITCH+Enterprise) to see more about installing or compiling the paid version of FreeSWITCH. shellapt-get update && apt-get install -y gnupg2 wget lsb-release software-properties-common apt-transport-https USERNAME=FSAUSERPASSWORD=FSAPASSwget --http-user=$USERNAME --http-password=$PASSWORD -O - https://fsa.freeswitch.com/repo/deb/fsa/pubkey.gpg | apt-key add -echo machine fsa.freeswitch.com login $USERNAME password $PASSWORD > /etc/apt/auth.confecho deb https://fsa.freeswitch.com/repo/deb/fsa/ lsb_release -sc 1.8 > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freeswitch.listecho deb-src https://fsa.freeswitch.com/repo/deb/fsa/ lsb_release -sc 1.8 >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freeswitch.list # you may want to populate /etc/freeswitch at this point.# if /etc/freeswitch does not exist, the standard vanilla configuration is deployedapt-get update && apt-get install -y freeswitch-meta-allFreeSWITCH™ is now installed and can be accessed withshell FreeSwitch CLIfs_cli -rRS:::info Compilation ScriptIf you need a compilation script, you can reach out to support@signalwire.com!:::
