Re: [orca-list] suggestions for upgrading Espeak

[Willem van der Walt <wvdwalt csir co za>]

Hi,
I am no expert on this, but maybe the easiest would be to get the source 
of an existing espeak package and then replace the espeak source portion 
with the new version's source.
One can then utilize the control file/rules etc. of the original one I 
think.
I have not done this, but that would be the way I would approach the 
problem.

I see under Debian that they have packaged espeak into a number of 
different packages which might complicate matters.
They are:
espeak espeak-data libespeak-dev libespeak1 python-codespeak-lib
Regards, Willem
