Ubuntu package of Speech Dispatcher 0.7.1
Hello, Ubuntu Lucid uses Speech Dispatcher 0.6, and Maverick uses 0.7.0. The current release of Speech Dispatcher is 0.7.1. To provide Ubuntu users with more options to run stable release of Speech Dispatcher, and thus hopefully improve their user experience, I created a PPA called ppa:dusek/spd, that contains package of Speech Dispatcher 0.7.1. To be precise, the package is for Ubuntu, both Lucid and Maverick, and both i386 and amd64. To use them, do: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dusek/spd sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade then if you want the change to take effect immediately, logout. If upgrading from Speech Dispatcher 0.6, you better do a full reboot. Please let me know of any problems you run into with these packages, or any suggestions you might have as to how best offer Speech Dispatcher to Ubuntu users through PPA. As said, important issues reported will be fixed with a patch (when available) in the stable PPA, and PPA-related suggestions will also be gladly implemented. (Ubuntu developer GURUs: please, where should the issues be reported and discussed? My (maintainer's) addres? Or does Launchpad support PPA bugreports?) I am planning to continue offering the future Speech Dispatcher stable releases in the ppa:dusek/spd PPA. Best regards, Boris Dusek Brailcom, o.p.s. P.S.: The ppa:dusek/spd PPA is a different PPA from the one I posted before, ppa:dusek/spd-test, in that it will contain only the stable releases of Speech Dispatcher (e.g. 0.7.0, 0.7.1, 0.7.2 and so on), with the necessary patches for critical issues found. If you added the ppa:dusek/spd-test, I advise you to remove it, since it is my experimental PPA (I will probably unpublish it). You can remove the testing PPA with sudo rm dusek-spd-test-lucid.list or sudo rm dusek-spd-test-maverick.list depending on your release. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: Status of Speech Dispatcher package

This shouldn't take me too long to do, so I'm willing to help whereever I can to get this updated. Thanks for your offer of help too. I noticed that you have just made the new package for Speech Dispatcher [1], and upgraded to it in my install of Maverick. Great. I also will look into harmonizing the Debian and Ubuntu packages (e.g. the Ubuntu one uses CDBS, which from what I have seen is great, the Debian package does not use it), so that it's easier to make merges in the future. Ideally the 2 packages would not differ at all (and if at anything, then at the patch set in debian/patches).

Status of Speech Dispatcher package
Hello, is anyone planning to package new releases of Speech Dispatcher (0.7 was released recently)? I suppose the current packager (Luke Yelavich) has no interest to continue to do so based on what he has proposed [1], so on behalf of Brailcom, o.p.s., I announce that I will take care of packaging current (0.7) and future releases of Speech dispatcher for future Ubuntu releases, starting with Maverick (10.10). I am already in the process of packaging Speech Dispatcher 0.7 for Maverick. Our employee, Milan Zamazal, is already the maintainer of the Speech Dispatcher package in Debian [2], so it will not be hard for us to maintain the Ubuntu package. Best regards, Boris Dusek Brailcom, o.p.s.
