I can understand diana, that she don't what to split it too many packages, because it could get wired for the user. On the other side I can understand asymtrixs and I think a normal installation would be >70 modules... which is also too much for avg. user.

Agree. For me, I compiled my own OpenWRT firmware to include only needed modules/packages into the firmware. This way, I will avoid any manual labor to install all the needed modules/packages.

How about splitting the packages a bit more in to scenarios, like server, client... Assuming a client installation is alway a GUI version, including jabber client modules, google voice client modules and vice versa for the server package.

If you take a closer look at the OpenWRT's Makefile for YATE, you will find a section of define Package/$(PKG_NAME) where it uses MENU:=1 option. I believe you can use this approach to selectively grouping the packages/modules.

I think it is good to split it up. As long as all core-packages are packed together so that yate can startup with minimal modules it is ok. So people can decide which modules they want to use and which they do not use. This is for example the same as apache is doing it. You can download apache and as module php support. So in my opinion it is the right way to do it, because it leaves it up to the user to install what he needs.

I completely agree with you on this. As a matter of fact, this is how developers from most, if not all, Linux (embedded) distros do it to port/package any (open source) software (i.e. YATE, FreeSWITCH, Kamailio, etc.). For instance, our YATE package on OpenWRT is packaged in this way using a software management utility called ipkg-utils (currently offline). In it, one will find how each YATE module gets packaged to satisfy its dependencies.

For OP (vankooch), perhaps looking at the OpenWRT's Makefile for YATE will shed some lights for you. Good luck.
