Is an RPM for Asterisk (the PBX system) available for CentOS 5? It looks like RPMforge is supposed to have one, as I can see dependent packages like asterisk-sounds, but the base package seems to be absent from the repository.

There are Asterisk 1.2 (S)RPMs at http://www.laimbock.com/asterisk/ They are not the most recent version but the latest 1.2.23 release will be available somewhere next week.

There are packages for asterisk at ATrpms, which if you like can be considered an unofficial member of rpmforge. ;)
Since asking about Asterisk back in July, I've found that openpbx (now named CallWeaver) seems to be the preferred fork:

There's an RPM for RC2 in Fedora Development (AKA Rawhide) but it hasn't been updated in awhile. (The latest upstream release is RC5.)

That very much depends on who you ask. Many people (myself included) prefer the original version which is actively developed by Digium in partnership with the community.

Can you say why you prefer it? I've not followed any threads comparing the two, so only have the issues listed in the voip wiki to go by. (See link in previous post.) I've seen the frustration over Sun's control of OpenOffice, and figured openpbx's fork is similarly motivated.
Understand that I'm in "shopping customer" mode and don't have any loyalty to either group.
have you tried trixbox which is an asterisk version based off of Centos?

I haven't tried OpenPBX/CallWeaver, so it's not a technical viewpoint. I suppose it's more a question of trust or confidence. It appeared to me that Asterisk was forked to OpenPBX in a fit of pique by two or three individuals. I kept an eye on the OpenPBX website for quite a few months after the fork, and it appeared to me to quickly stagnate, and didn't seem to gain any momentum.
In contrast, I found original Asterisk to have a lot of forward momentum and a large community around it. So I stuck with it, and haven't paid much attention to OpenPBX/CallWeaver more recently. It certainly seems much lower-profile than Asterisk.
