Last call for festival. If nobody steps up, I'll do the work to get it dropped next week.
I filed a deleterequest: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/141855
The delete request got rejected because festival is needed by festival-spanish-voices and kdeaccessibility3.
I'm cc'ing the maintainers of those two packages. Please either adopt festival, or drop those packages.
Ilya, ping: kdeaccessibility3 is blocking here. Can you either drop it, make it not use festival, or become the new festival maintainer?
I didn't get a reply from you on this. So I filed a deleterequest for kdeaccessibility3 : https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/144436
I'm happy to revoke that, though, if you tell me which way you want to move forward for festival.
Festival works well here for voice synthesis (including Russian voices) under KDE3. I was planning to package Russian voices for it developed by the Russian Academy of Sciences and packaged by Alt Linux.
I know no other voice synthesis software capable of Russian sppech under Linux. Is there a real need to drop it?
Ilya, Per the email thread, festival is being dropped only because the current maintainer is no longer willing to maintain it. If you don't want it dropped you either need to become the new maintainer or find someone else that is willing to be the new maintainer.
