Bug 360067 – app-accessibility/speechd init.d script needs non-existing festival init script

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Petr Pisar 2011-03-23 06:43:15 UTC]

app-accessibility/speechd-0.56-r2 installs speechd init script that

depend() {
    need festival
}

Howerver festival init script has been droped in app-accessibility/festival-2.1 per bug #357381.

[Comment 1 William Hubbs 2011-03-27 16:05:00 UTC]

The festival init script was dropped due to several security issues as
were listed in that bug.

My thought is that we need to have speechd be able to support festival
this way or remove speechd from the tree.

Does anyone else have any comments?

A known upstream issue, see:

Actually, comment #2 doesn't apply, speechd is not speech-dispatcher,
but app-accessibility/speechd.

[Comment 4 Christopher Brannon (RETIRED) 2011-03-28 18:55:02 UTC]

Oh.  Sorry for comment #2.  I kept confusing speechd and Speech Dispatcher.

Anyway, speechd hasn't been touched since 2001 or 2002, has it?
Is anyone actually using it?
In other words, is there much reason to hold on to it?

[Comment 5 William Hubbs 2011-04-07 19:33:53 UTC]

As far as I am concerned, we can give this package last rights and
remove it.

[Comment 6 Massimo Burcheri 2011-05-02 07:09:07 UTC]

I also confused those 2 sometimes...
Old speechd I'm not using anymore but speech-dispatcher.

So I created Bug 365667 - app-accessibility/speech-dispatcher-0.7.1-r1 init.d script needs non-existing festival init script

Let's do it. Last version came on 2003.

[Comment 8 William Hubbs 2011-08-29 19:16:29 UTC]

This package has been removed from portage.
