Hi, below is a list of all speech related [1] packages that are currently looking for a new maintainer.
For some there already seems to be the intention to adopt them, but in such cases please: 1. follow the instructions at [2] and retitle the bug to ITA and 2. try to make an upload soon This makes it visible that these packages are already being adopted, and after adoption bug reports will be going to the new maintainers. For festvox-suopuhe-lj and festvox-suopuhe-mv the former maintainer stated in the WNPP bugs that The packages should be removed from Debian after the wheezy release unless a new maintainer somehow materializes. If noone wants to adopt them, it would be helpful to have a statement in these WNPP bugs stating either that they are useless and should be removed, or that there is value in having these packages in jessie. The packages and WNPP bugs are: O: festvox-suopuhe-lj -- Finnish female speaker for Festival http://bugs.debian.org/474018 O: festvox-suopuhe-mv -- Finnish male speaker for festival http://bugs.debian.org/474019 O: festival-doc -- Documentation for Festival http://bugs.debian.org/699950 O: festival-freebsoft-utils -- Festival extensions and utilities http://bugs.debian.org/730985 O: emacspeak-ss -- Emacspeak speech servers for several synthesizers http://bugs.debian.org/636409 O: sound-icons -- sounds for speech enabled applications http://bugs.debian.org/730987 RFA: festvox-czech-ph -- Czech male speaker for Festival http://bugs.debian.org/730988 RFA: festvox-czech-dita -- Czech female speaker for Festival http://bugs.debian.org/730989 RFA: festvox-czech-machac -- Czech male speaker for Festival http://bugs.debian.org/730990 RFA: festvox-czech-krb -- Czech child speaker for Festival http://bugs.debian.org/730991 RFA: festival-czech -- Czech support for Festival speech synthesis system http://bugs.debian.org/730997 Thanks in advance Adrian [1] Is that the correct expression?
