Hey.

The regeneration of the config is triggered by /etc/init.d/asterisk .

LuCI writes everything to /etc/config/asterisk and the asteriskuci
scripts translate that to native configuration (ini-style .conf) files.

Maybe in the future. It's likely that we'll ship the package with
certain macros and stuff that are not editable via gui but solely
present as native config files and/or the AstDB. Also resources like
audiosamples etc. are data that's not touched by the gui but included by
the asteriskuci scripts.

> Q4: are there any plans to access the asterisk database with UCI scripts or
> should I avoid using it and stick with the asterisk .conf files?

Atm there are no such plans. But since AstDB is just Berkeley DB we
might add some functionality for that in the future. Right now there's
neither any gui work done on this nor do we have a bdb-lua library to
implement required apis for that.
