Hi,

What is the status of packaging asterisk-espeak? Are you still interested? Do you perhaps half-baked packages lying around somewhere that others (like me) eager to play with it could grab and unofficially (re)package?


The package was rejected by ftp-master because of licensing conflicts in the source, and upstream has never gotten back to me about doing a new release addressing those issues. I figure it's not worth having a package with a totally unresponsive upstream.

Interesting.  Thanks for clarifying.

For the record (since you didn't elaborate): It seems the licensing conflict is that asterisk-espeak is licensed as GPL-2 (and no newer!) similarly to Asterisk itself, while espeak is licensed as GPL-3+. In other words espeak cannot be linked with with Asterisk :-/


Now that we have the updated status tied to the actual bugreport, I suggest you close it, to not having it hanging around with potentially more people than just me foolishly waiting for progress that will not happen. :-)


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
