[needs-packaging] festival-ru should be available

[Sergey V. Udaltsov]

There is a Russian voice (very good quality) http://festlang.berlios.de/docu/doku.php

It is already packaged for Debian.

I packaged it for jaunty in my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~sergey-udaltsov/+archive/ppa). The packaging is very similar to the Debian one.

Could it please be included into main distro?

Brian, would you need any help in processing of that bug? What would be the timeline, perhaps approximate one?

Sergey,

Seems like Debian already has this package in stable and testing, but with a different name.
http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/festvox-ru

AFAIK, it will be synced from Debian (semi) automatically before Debian Import Freeze (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule). Otherwise you need to file sync request (requestsync from ubuntu-dev-tools).

[Sergey V. Udaltsov (sergey-udaltsov)]

Actually there are 2 packages in Debian: festvox-ru (actual data) and festival-ru (empty, just includes festival and festfox-ru as dependencies). If it is going to be available in Karmic, feel free to close this bug after the import. How could we ensure that these packages are included?

[Rail Aliiev (rail)]

The package is in Karmic already, great. :)
