[needs-packaging] New package sphinxtrain

[Pete Woods]

This bug is for a new source package sphinxtrain. It is licensed under a BSD-like license.

It is used for training acoustic language models, and has been employed to build an international English acoustic model using Voxforge for Ubuntu Touch's Unity HUD. (See LP: #1141942)

This package is dependent on the (also new) sphinx3 package. (See LP: #1144014).

Ubuntu Version: Raring
Repo: Universe
Homepage: http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/

This package is going to need a Feature Freeze exception: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess#FeatureFreeze_for_new_packages

Subscribing ubuntu-release, unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors for now.

[Iain Lane (laney)]

Approved on the understanding that this isn't destined for any Raring release media. Moving back to ubuntu-sponsors.

Also it would be good if you could work to get these packages into Debian too. Contacting Samuel would be a good start if you haven't already.

I found and fixed a few nitpicks:

- Fix broken version number (-0ubuntu1, not -ubuntu1)
- Drop redundant debian/docs, already installed those in sphinxtrain.install
- Drop unnecessary python-support build dependency (this is obsolete), just add a python dependency (this just has private modules)
- trailing comma in debian/control Depends: line
- Bumped Standards-Version to 3.9.4

Otherwise the packaging, debian/copyright, etc. look fine to me. Packages build fine, debs look reasonable.

Please note that for getting this into main at some point you'll need Python 3 packages.

I uploaded this now. It will need NEW review first though, so it won't appear in raring right away.

Thanks Martin :) I actually noticed something else. It install-depends on pocketsphinx, but this isn't actually a binary package (it's a source one). It should be pocketsphinx-utils! I don't know how I didn't notice this earlier!

Pete: I've fixed that in 1.0.8-0ubuntu2, currently awaiting review. Thanks for picking it up.
