[Bug 1415400] Re: Upgrade to Festival 2.4

[Sergio Oller]

Hi,

I have been helping to package Festival and Speech tools in Debian for a
while so I may be able to help here too :-).

Some patches will be dropped as they have been merged upstream (speech
tools documentation improvements for instance) and others will need some
adaptation.

Also some voices' packages (festvox-*) may need testing/changes, because
festival-2.4 includes a newer version of the HTS engine that breaks
(again, sigh) backward compatibility. Many people use HTS voices and
fetch them from Internet as they are not packaged yet [1].

It is not as straightforward as I'd like to. I can prepare a package but
some reverse dependencies will need  testing.
