Where did chan_skinny.so go?
Submitted by frogking on Tue, 06/17/2008 - 5:44pm.
I just downloaded and installed Trixbox CE 2.6.1, and chan_skinny.so does not appear with the other modules. I need this to get a Cisco 7920 working (wireless wifi phone which does NOT offer SIP as an option).
Has this been phased out? I had gotten chan_sccp working in older versions of Trixbox, but it was a pain to install and since I didn't need all the fancy features, chan_skinny worked fine for me. Really, all I wanted it for was so I could have a cordless phone on Asterisk.
If this isn't going to be supported anymore, perhaps it should be removed from the features page on the wiki!
No thanks

It seems that chan_skinny was ALWAYS just included with Asterisk, period. I've tried chan-sccp-b and it really didn't seem worth all the trouble.
So again I ask, where did chan_skinny go? Is there a way to install it without having to recompile a bunch of crap and break future updates from working? This is really frustrating!
I'm not sure where it went

I'm not sure where it went it seems like the project was abandoned and chan-sccp-b is the replacement. As far as "all the trouble" just make sure you have Group Development tools installed, the Asterisk-Devel and download the chan-sccp-b and compile I've had no issues with it. The last setup took 10 minutes to do and I haven't had issues with it since then.

chan-sccp-b is not the replacement it's a package developed by someone other than digium. I too am currently looking to get chan_skinny on trixbox 2.4, I have been unable to find it included anywhere in the trixbox 2.4 distribution (I haven't tried 2.6)
It is still in the last few revisions of asterisk-1.4.x so it's definitely still included with the vanilla asterisk.
Most likely gonna end up having to compile it yourself in order to get it in there.
Edit:
Yea, I just downloaded asterisk-1.4.20 from digium, ran configure, and then make, and chan_skinny.so compiles by default.
Fortunately it loaded without issue right into asterisk that came with trixbox 2.4.2
