Subject: list the move of the astvarrundir from /var/run to /var/run/asterisk
X-Git-Tag: 1.6.2.0-beta1~66
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eddf496f3a1a83a5a3557984b3f57e855f9b8ec2;p=thirdparty%2Fasterisk.git

list the move of the astvarrundir from /var/run to /var/run/asterisk
(actually its $(localstatedir)/run/asterisk

Makes setups with asterisk as non-root easier to manage because you can
setup permissions on this dir instead of touching a file and setting
permissions on that.
Files that come to mind are asterisk.pid and asterisk.ctl socket.
