I have had similar thoughts for a long time now. The problem is, if there are no open source headers to be able to build the support for such libraries, like the ibmtts code that is BSD licensed, it simply cannot be done, for one simple reason.
The proprietary code cannot be present on the build machines at package build time. The best we can hope to offer, is a system where the package gets re- compiled when the user wants to build support for a proprietary synth. -- Easy install of proprietary voice synthesizers https://launchpad.net/bugs/82098 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
