Bug#475116: Status of packaging asterisk-espeak?

2009-11-29 Thread Jonas Smedegaard

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?



Kind regards,

 - Jonas

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.

Andrew

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
