It packages higher-level call-control, registration, messaging, and presence APIs for applications that do not want to drive SIP transactions directly. ### Project history Antisip describes oSIP and eXosip2 as open-source SIP projects started in 2001. The eXosip documentation presents libeXosip2 as the extended stack built on oSIP for quickly building compliant SIP endpoint applications. ### Adoption history Savannah's release archive shows libeXosip tarballs in March 2005 and libeXosip2 tarballs in November 2005, followed by 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x series releases. Package managers keep it around for older and embedded VoIP software that still wants a compact GPL SIP user-agent stack. ### How it is used The library is used to initialize an eXosip context, select UDP, TCP, TLS, or DTLS transport, and build SIP endpoint behavior such as registration, calls, transfer, messaging, and presence. ### Why package nerds care libeXosip2 is a small but durable example of the early-2000s open SIP stack era: oSIP handles lower SIP machinery, while eXosip2 gives packagers a higher-level endpoint library and test tools. ### Timeline - 2001: Antisip says oSIP and eXosip2 open-source projects were started. - 2005-03-29: Savannah archive lists libeXosip 0.9.0. - 2005-11-24: Savannah archive lists libeXosip2 2.2.2. - 2016-09-13: Savannah archive lists libexosip2 5.0.0. - 2021-11-22: Antisip ChangeLog and Savannah archive list eXosip2 5.3.0. ### Related projects - Related projects include GNU oSIP, Antisip SIP products, SIP RFC 3261 implementations, and endpoint stacks used by VoIP clients and embedded telephony devices. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes library-like package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - library-like package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** libexosip - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - libexosip: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/li/libexosip/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [c-ares](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/c-ares/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [openssl@3](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/openssl-3/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [pkgconf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pkgconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [sofia-sip](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sofia-sip/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, sip, telephony, voip. - [pjproject](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pjproject/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, sip, voip. - [sngrep](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sngrep/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, sip, voip. - [freeswitch](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/freeswitch/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, sip, telephony, voip. - [baresip](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/baresip/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, sip, voip. - [gensio](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gensio/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-library, cli, networking. - [getdns](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/getdns/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-library, cli, networking. - [gsasl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gsasl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-library, cli, networking. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
