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).

Re: Status of Speech Dispatcher package
I packaged the 0.7 release of speech-dispatcher for Vinux, but it broke compatibility with speechd-up, which is no longer maintained. Most Vinux testers who use the testing repository rely on either speechd-up or ospeakup, so I was forced to remove the new speech-dispatcher package, as testers were all losing speech in their consoles. Alternatively, I could get speechd-up working with the latest speech-dispatcher, but as ospeakup is maintained, and in much better shape than the last release of speechd-up, I didn't see the point.

Thanks for your offer of help. Even though I proposed that change, this does not mean I will totally abandon maintaining the speech-dispatcher package in Ubuntu. I still hoep that both projects can one day merge and work together again. > I am already in the process of packaging Speech Dispatcher 0.7 for > Maverick.

There are a few differences in packaging for Ubuntu that need to be carried, so the update procedure for this package now is what is known as a merge. This shouldn't take me too long to do, so I'm willing to help whereever I can to get this updated.

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.
