Comment (by bdubbs):

 I don't know if we want to support this at all.  It seems like an awful
 lot to support one package.  It's more effort than it's worth.

Comment (by renodr):

 To start off with, dependencies which are present in the book already:
 • at-spi2-atk
 • gsettings-desktop-schemas
 • gst-plugins-good/base
 • gtk3
 • pyatspi
 • dbus-python
 • pyxdg
 • itstool
 • git (optional)
 However, now the complexity begins. Per Arch, the packages we don’t have
 in the book right now are:
 • brltty
 • liblouis
 • speech-dispatcher
 The dependencies for those are plentiful. Here’s a list of dependencies
 that we’ll have to add (in total). I’ll note here which packages can have
 external dependencies converted to internal, and those will have to be
 tested.
 • Brltty
  espeak

 ◦ Portaudio (mpg123, wireshark)

 ◦ JACK (OpenCV, xine-lib, alsa-tools, mlt, alsa-plugins,
 pulseaudio, mplayer, vlc, mpg123, audacious)

 ◦ celt (ffmpeg)

 ◦ zita-alsa-pcmi

 ◦ zita-resampler

 • Speech Dispatcher

 ◦ dotconf

 ◦ libspeechd

 ◦ espeak-ng

 ◦ pcaudiolib

 • liblouis

 That’s 13 packages that would have to be added, which is large especially
 considering the amount of testing required. I can still do it if wanted,
 but I think it would be better to wait until after 8.4 is over.

 I'll reply here with an outline of dependencies required in a bit, because
 there are many of them.

Comment (by renodr):

 I think adding Orca is our best bet here. If we still don't have any new
 tickets by Wednesday, I'll add Orca, espeak, and speech dispatcher. It'll
 also silence a warning in gnome-shell, but I need someone on sysv to test
 the changes when I've done them, if possible.

Comment (by pierre.labastie):

 I think Gnome Orca by itself does not do tts (and actually, it can be set
 up to not do tts at all, but rather to output to braille). It has to be
 set to use a tts program. But it may be taken in consideration which ones
 can be used.

 A quick browsing shows that orca is built upon speech-dispatcher (for
 voice output), which itself can use, at least, espeak, flite, or festival
 (they seem to recommend the last one in documentation) for tts.

 Note that both orca and speech-dispatcher have dependencies that are not
 in the book at the moment.

 It may be more than TTS, but should we consider Gnome Orca
 (https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/)?

Comment (by pierre.labastie):

 Some of the possible replacements (please feel free to update):

 - I've found those among the modules of
 [https://github.com/brailcom/speechd Speech Dispatcher]:
   - [http://www.festvox.org/flite/ CMU flite]
   - [http://festvox.org/ CMU festival]
   - [http://espeak.sourceforge.net/ espeak]

 - Lot of people seem to like
 [https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/svox/ SVox PicoTTS].
 It's now developped by google. But the build system is android, and I'm
 not sure it is easy to use in LFS. Debian provides a package, so it is
 possible to build from source (I may dig into that later).
