Hi!
[preface] As some of you may notice through pacman patches and bugspam - I've _finally_ got issues sorted out and put my lazy ass in front of my Arch box^W laptop. So don't wonder if you'll get silly questions from me about the current status of things.
This is the first such mail.
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6174 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7864 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9332 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9811 All these reports are about festival which is long-time orphan. Does anyone want to maintain it? If not - I suggest drop it to AUR so users can take care of it.
Similar situations is with some of Damir's packages. Does anyone know what happened to him? And what we should do with scientific packages he maintained?
Festival is the only backend we support in gnome-speech at this moment, but that doesn't matter anyways, as I will import espeak from community soon and add it as a dependency for gnome-speech. It was requested recently, as espeak works much better than festival.
