Re: [arch-general] BrlTTY Hard Dependency on eSpeak
Hi,
Yes discovered this the other day. I think it is time to make espeak deprecated imo and have espeak-ng the default particularly in the talking arch which someone is taking over development of.
Thanks.
Matthew

Hi,
I'm having some issues with installing brltty. The problem is, it depends on espeak but I'm using the espeak-ng from community and it is giving me the unresolvable conflicts problem for that reason.
I don't think that brltty actually needs espeak at all, and it could probably be listed as an optional dependancy along with espeak-ng.
Thanks, Storm
hello. to switch TalkingArch to espeak-ng we need that espeakup works with espeak-ng.. maybe a espeak-ng maintainer knows how to do it.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, upstream (espeakup, etc.) has to be engaged: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2019-February/046055.html

Note that we could patch around this, but upstream support would be best.

Hello,
What is it that upstream should do? As far as I can see, brltty already supports dynamic loading of speech plugins. (see e.g. the --speech-driver paramter) The only problem seems to be that espeak-ng includes some compatibility files that conflict with the espeak package and prevent parallel installation. Wouldn't it be sufficient to split those two files into an espeak-ng-compat package?
usr/bin/espeak usr/include/espeak/speak_lib.h
-- progandy
As already stated, may you just wait until it's rules out, problems with other packages fixed, rebuild and replaced? Thanks
