[Bug 1637567] Re: Festival 2.4 Regression

[Sergio Oller]

As far as I can remember the HTS voice in `festvox-us-slt-hts` is the
same from nitech.

If you want to convert any nitech voice from the old format to the new,
you can do it in the same way that it is done within the festvox-us-slt-
hts package. So far no one has bothered to do it, probably because no
one has the time, but it should work.

To do the conversion, you should first follow the debian/rules file,
that uses a python script to create the .htsvoice file, and second
applying similar patches to the ones available in debian/patches, to fix
the festvox/* files accordingly.

I think it is a much better solution to migrate the old voices to the
new system, if possible, than to patch the system and maintain a fork of
an already old and not very well maintained piece of software, but do as
you please.
