This is to inform anyone using Arch Linux who accesses the AUR that I am
maintaining package builds for SVox Pico and for the development version
of eSpeak. The SVox Pico build can be found at
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47073
and the latest eSpeak test build, currently 1.44.40 at the time of this
post can be found at
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47163
Or if you use an AUR helper, just look for espeak-test and
svox-pico-git. The espeak-test package will seamlessly replace the
espeak package currently on your system, and if you use
speech-dispatcher-git, it can be rebuilt to include SVox Pico support
once svox-pico-git has been built and installed.
I would appreciate any feedback on the package builds, but I recommend
that bugs in the speech engines themselves be reported upstream. Thanks
for any comments, suggestions and/or votes.
