In the systemd unit for FS/debian, if the WorkingDirectory is not set
then it defaults to '/'. This is fine for FS, and is a common and
expected chdir choice for daemons.
We had previously set this to /run/freeswitch. Due to Debian having
systemd-coredump(8) disabled, this was causing core files to be
written to /run/freeswitch, which is a bad place for them as it's
mounted on tmpfs.
It's better to leave FS as running on '/'. This will prevent core
files from being written unless the user adjusts `sysctl
kernel.core_pattern`, which is a reasonable thing to expect if the
user wants these files. Core files can be huge, and having them go
anywhere unexpectedly can be a problem.
When Debian adds the systemd-coredumps support this will all work
nicely and automatically.

This changes how we create the temporary directory /run/freeswitch
when starting FS with systemd. The /run directory starts empty after
a system reboot, so we need to ensure this directory is present.
As part of systemd.exec(5), systemd provides a mechanism to
automatically manage these directories under /run and to bind their
lifetime to the lifetime of the process.
This commit moves to using the RuntimeDirectory= mechanism and removes
the obsolete ExecStartPre/mkdir code.

We now break out each module and component of FreeSWITCH into a
separate individually-installable package. For each package with
executables or modules, we also build a package that includes the
stripped debugging symbols so that users can be helpful when they
discover bugs in FreeSWITCH.
As of this commit, we successfully build 263 distinct binary packages
starting from a clean minimal image on both Debian Sid and Debian
Squeeze.
To keep this manageable, we include a program that generates the
various Debian packaging files from a consolidated description of the
modules and their metadata. The program can even generate this
configuration file by walking the FreeSWITCH source tree.
To provide a smooth user experience, we provide meta-packages that
install sensible sets of modules and other components.
All files are installed into the traditional and customary Linux
directories that you would expect in accordance with the Filesystem
Hierarchy Standard (FHS).
This commit also adds support for running FreeSWITCH as a forked
systemd service in Debian.

packaging, how to build the binary packages from source, and how you
