4 Hi all,
5
6 app-accessibility/festival has not done a release upstream in some time.
7 We currently have several bugs against this package, including one
8 security bug.
9
10 Since a lot of blind people are now using espeak as their software
11 speech synthesizer, and the new version of emacspeak (version 26, which
12 will be in portage pretty soon) can support espeak, I would like to know
13 this.
14
15 Once emacspeak 26 is in the tree, I would like to move festival out of
16 accessibility, or remove it from the tree.
17
18 If there is a reason to keep festival in the tree,
19 can someone please contact me and take over the package?
