} I'm using Asterisk 14 on NetBSD on a Raspberry Pi (evbarm). The reason
} is that it was the latest version of Asterisk available in the binary
} packages repository for evbarm on ftp.netbsd.org.  If whoever compiles
} the binary packages for evbarm can get a later version working then I'll
} switch to that, but for now I'd rather the Asterisk 14 package remain.

     Okay, Asterisk 14.* can stay for now.  However, be aware that
it likely has unresolve security issues and that there will not be
any more update (I may check to see if there is a newer version
upstream and do one final update of the package).
