This question is based on the assumption that the Rocky Linux folks are in touch with the RHEL folks.
At present, Rocky Linux and family has Asterisk 18.12.1, which is only receiving security updates, and will stop in October-2025 and will reach EOL status. Meanwhile, other LTS versions are available that have an extended support period.
Even in the upstream distros like Fedora, they’re also using this ancient version. What do we do when the security updates stop?
Rocky is based on RHEL, so whatever package versions RHEL has, Rocky also has. It’s a direct 1:1. Although asterisk comes from EPEL repository, not from official baseos or appstream repositories which Rocky maintain. EPEL is maintained by a third party, so perhaps you wish to contact them to update the package by making a package request?

Oh, I didn’t realize it came from EPEL. My bad.
Yes, I’ll make a request.
@cipherpunk You can go the source code route too, if you are interested. I prefer to use base repositories or EPEL too, but this is an option: Installing Asterisk - Documentation
