 Asterisk has a number of optional build dependencies.  If you intend to use
-any analogue PSTN hardware such as DigiumTDM400P, you should install the
-dahdi-linux and dahdi-tools software and drivers before compiling Asterisk.
-If you will instead use digital telephony hardware (not IP phones) such as
-T1/E1 lines or a PRI, you'll need to install libpri, again before compiling
-Asterisk.

 for any additional configuration files you may need.
 
-With 1.8+ release of Asterisk, Add-ons are shipped in the main package.
-but disabled by default. Since some of the add-ons are quite useful, this
-script will build them, unless ofcourse, the ADDON variable is set as:
+If you have plans of using Asterisk with a database backend you may want to
+install the alembic package.  Since version 12.0 the database schemas that
+Asterisk uses are being captured in the form of python script files that use
+alembic to create/update database schemas.  The asterisk package places these
+database scripts in the /usr/doc/asterisk-13.13.1/ast-db-manage directory.
 
-  ADDONS=no ./asterisk.SlackBuild
+This build script supports the following flags:
 
-The list of pre-selected add-ons is as follows:
+ * MOH : [default = no]
 
-  app_mysql cdr_mysql chan_ooh323 res_config_mysql
+   Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to include some royalty-free
+   music on hold sound files with your installation.  Setting this option
+   will cause the build to download some sound files from the internet.
+
+ * SOUNDS_EXTRA : [default = no]
+
+   Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to include the extra sound package
+   with your installation.  Setting this option will cause the build to
+   download some sound files from the internet.
+
+ * VM_ODBC : [default = no]
+
+   Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to store your voicemail messages
+   in a database.  This plugin requires the unixODBC package.  This flag will
+   override the VM_IMAP flag if both are set to 'yes'.  You will probably want
+   to install the alembic package to configure your database with the latest
+   database schemas for Asterisk.
+
+ * VM_IMAP : [default = no]
+
+   Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to store your voicemail messages
+   on an IMAP server.  This plugin requires the University of Washingtons
+   IMAP server source.  This flag will be overridden by the VM_ODBC flag if
+   both are set to 'yes'.
+
+ * G711_NEW : [default = no]
+
+   Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to use the newer G711 codec code.
+   This requires a more powerful machine than would be normally required.
+
+ * MEETME : [default = no]
+
+   Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to build the app_meetme plugin.
+   This plugin is required for key style systems and conferencing using meetme.
+   This plugin requires the dahdi-linux package for timing purposes.
+
+Optional dependencies: alembic, dahdi-complete, libpri, unixODBC, pjsip.
