Hi, I do not think that you could transfer a chanspy session at all, as it is not a real bridged call. Also, what you read about chanspy cycling works if you setup all those groups and tidbits in your asterisk dialplan. FOP2 does not mess with your dialplan, so those features will not be available unless you tweak your dialplan for it, setting the spygroup variable for your relevant channels (and then you will have to set the relevant g() in fop2.cfg's spy_options or whisper_options to pass the corresponding/needed/wanted chanspy modifiers when invoking a spy session). The listen and listen and whisper are now using only the spy permission. I have not tried, but perhaps (ab)using local channels you could add the chanspy application into a confbridge/meetme room. But most probably thing will go bonkers or act funny. Having a custom extension that will launch chanspy and then inviting that extension into a meetme via fop2, by clicking the meetme button and typing the extension. consider this: [from-internal-custom] exten => _556XXX,1,Answer exten => _556XXX,n,Wait(1) exten => _556XXX,n,ChanSpy(SIP/${EXTEN:3}) exten => _556XXX,n,Hangup If you dial 556100 it should launch chanspy on SIP/100. Now, from fop2 invite that extension to a conference and see what happens. Best regards,

Right, well I like my systems to be current, but it's nice to have stable software that works. To prepare a debootstrap chroot in Ubuntu Precise (or Quantal or newer) that will support FOP2: apt-get install debootstrap schroot mkdir -p /srv/chroot/hardy debootstrap hardy /srv/chroot/hardy http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu This will do for /etc/schroot/schroot.conf: [hardy] description=Hardy (perl 5.8) directory=/srv/chroot/hardy users=YOURNAMEHERE root-groups=sudo aliases=default,fop2 You're just typing schroot -c hardy -u root then the usual init.d sequence to start fop2 and apache servers. As usual, apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 and make install in fop2 source dir, and it works! I had to modify my fop2.conf because we are not using the default password and of course our AMI is not on localhost either. In this way you can have fop2 on quantal. I know, it's kind of cheating, since it's not really "on" quantal but under it, but I didn't want to install a whole hardy system! I did eventually find if you don't have a button with your own extension number (that you used to log in) configured, you don't get any action buttons and you can't listen to other buttons or really do anything at all.
