Subject: O: text-to-speech plugins for Konqueror and Kate -- extra

Date: Thu, 01 Sep 2005 16:11:06 +1000

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I'm hereby orphaning konq-speaker.

  This package contains text-to-speech plugins for Konqueror (the KDE
  file manager and web browser) and Kate (a KDE text editor).
  Text-to-speech is provided by the festival speech system.

  These plugins can be accessed through Konqueror's Tools menu and the
  plugin manager in Kate settings.

The package is not complicated to maintain.  Upstream has not worked on
it for many years, but it still works fine and is interesting from an
accessibility point of view.

Ben.

Subject: ftp.debian.org: please remove konq-speaker from testing/unstable

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

The konq-speaker package has outlived its usefulness.  There has been no
upstream action on konq-speaker for several years, and the "official"
KDE text-to-speech system shipped with kdeaccessibility is now
sophisticated enough that I think konq-speaker will not be missed.

Please remove konq-speaker from unstable (and from testing when
appropriate).

Note that I was the maintainer of konq-speaker from its initial upload
until just last week, when I orphaned it (#325996).  Since taking a
closer look at KDE 3.4, I have decided that it's better removed instead.

Ben.
