As already stated, may you just wait until it's rules out, problems with other 
packages fixed, rebuild and replaced? Thanks

Hello,


What is it that upstream should do? As far as I can see, brltty already
supports dynamic loading of speech plugins. (see e.g. the
--speech-driver paramter) The only problem seems to be that espeak-ng
includes some compatibility files that conflict with the espeak package
and prevent parallel installation. Wouldn't it be sufficient to split
those two files into an espeak-ng-compat package?


usr/bin/espeak
usr/include/espeak/speak_lib.h

Note that we could patch around this, but upstream support would be best.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, upstream (espeakup, etc.) has to
be engaged:

hello. to switch TalkingArch to espeak-ng we need that espeakup works 
with espeak-ng.. maybe a espeak-ng maintainer knows how to do it.

Hi,

Yes discovered this the other day.  I think it is time to make espeak
deprecated imo and have espeak-ng the default particularly in the talking
arch which someone is taking over development of.  

Thanks.

Matthew

Subject: [arch-general] BrlTTY Hard Dependancy on eSpeak

Hi,

I'm having some issues with installing brltty. The problem is, it depends on
espeak but I'm using the espeak-ng from community and it is giving me the
unresolvable conflicts problem for that reason.

I don't think that brltty actually needs espeak at all, and it could
probably be listed as an optional dependancy along with espeak-ng.

Thanks,
Storm
