speechd-up deb package?

speechd-up deb package?

[John Heim]

Is it worth my time posting a deb package for speechd-up? I made a deb 
package so that I could easily install speechd-up. On the systems I'm 
responsible for (about 100 linux boxes) I can say 'apt-get flite speechd-up' 
and after it's done with the installs, the machine will start talking. It 
installs speech-dispatcher as a dependency.

Would this be useful to anybody else? I figure I'd have to clean up the deb 
file a little and then I could put it in my web space here at the U of Wisc 
Math Department. But before I did that, I  thought I'd ask if it's worth the 
bother.

I think it'd be worth having one.

Ubuntu already has it. I should really look at getting it into Debian.

Is there a direct url for that? The only one I'm aware of, and the
only one I've been using so far was the one provided by grml, but the
latest version there is at 0.3 as far as I can determine. I was
actually seriously considering on reading up how to create debian
packages, and building a deb package of 0.4, and making it available
on my web site.

You will need to be running Debian usntable to use them, as the version 
of libc6 they require is at least 2.5. You can always fetch the source 
package at 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/speechd-up and  rebuild 
if you wish to use it on etch.

Well that was what I was thinking about. I didn't know if maybe everybody 
was already using the ubuntu package. But from your other messages, it 
doesn't sound as if using the ubuntu package is that easy. I cannot run 
unstable. In fact, I can't even run testing. The machines in my department 
are running stable and my boss likes it that way.

I guess I'll see if I can finish up the package this weekend. I actually 
still have to compile the latest version of speechd-up and then clean up a 
few things in the package and then post it. So I still have a couple hours 
of work to do on it.
