The Python/C API is used only if the Test Framework was enabled in Asterisk 'make menuselect'. The Test Framework is available only if the Developer Mode was enabled in Asterisk './configure --enable-dev-mode'. And that Python/C API is used only if the PJProject was found and not disabled in Asterisk; the user did not go for './configure --without-pjproject'. Furthermore, because version 2 of that Python/C API is required (currently) and because some platforms do not offer a generic version 2, the script searches for 2.7 explicitly as well. To avoid version mismatch between the Python/C API and the Python environment, the script searches for the latter in the same versions, in the same the order as well. Because this Python/C API is just for (some) Asterisk contributors, the script also goes for the Python 3 environment as a last resort for all other Asterisk users. This allows 'make full' even on minimal installations of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and newer. Because the Python/C API is Asterisk contributor specific, the Python packages are removed from the script './contrib/scripts/install_prereq' as this script is intended for Asterisk users. Asterisk contributors have to install much more packages in any case, like: sudo apt install autoconf automake git git-review python2.7-dev ASTERISK-28824 ASTERISK-27717 Change-Id: Id46d357e18869f64dcc217b8fdba821b63eeb876
messages-expire.pl messages-expire finds messages more than X days old and deletes them. Because the older messages will be the lower numbers in the folder (msg0000 will be older than msg0005), just deleting msg0000 will not work. expire-messages then runs a routine that goes into every folder in every mailbox to reorganize. If the folder contains msg0000, no action is taken. If the folder does not, the rename routine takes the oldest message and names it msg0000, the next oldest message and names it msg0001 and so on. The file deletion is done by the -exec parameter to 'find'. It would be far more efficient to take the output from 'find' and just reorganize the directories from which we deleted a file. Something for the future... Keep in mind that messages are deleted at the beginning of the script you will have mailbox trouble if you check messages before the script reorganizes your mailbox. To use it, make sure the paths are right. Adjust $age (originally set to 31) if necessary.
