Description of problem: One of nice gcin features is gcin prounces the character you type, thus lower typo rate. However, the voice data is not packed in fedora. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.4.5-2.fc11 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right click on gcin for gcin setup menu. 2. Click on "Default input method & Enable/disable". 3. Enable "Speak as you type". Actual results: Due to lack of voice data, this function is not functional. Expected results: gcin speaks as you type. Additional info: Voice data can be downloaded at: http://cle.linux.org.tw/trac/wiki/GcinTextToSpeech How about make a gcin-voice sub-package?
Wait.. Um, Sorry. I am thinking about to make the voice-data stand-alone, so other program can use it. How do you reckon?
Need to make sure the license of the ogg.tgz first.
Finally gcin's author agree to release gcin voice under GPL. http://cle.linux.org.tw/trac/blog Yay! However, I would like to put the voice in bigger framework, see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/SystemWideVoiceData IMHO there are at least several ways to achieve that: 1. gcin voice data is packed as voicedata-zh_TW-gcin-EdwardLiu, while we made the gcin-voice subpackage which requires voicedata-zh_TW-gcin-EdwardLiu and make necessary links. 2. gcin voice data is packed as gcin subpackage, gcin-voice, while voicedata-zh_TW-gcin-EdwardLiu requires gcin-voice, and make necessary links. 3. Like 2, but gcin-voice is a standalone package. 4. Do nothing, except mentioning "Install voicedata-zh_TW-gcin-EdwardLiu to 'enable speak-as-you-type'" 1) and 4) is preferred as it won't drag in unwanted additional dependency, while 2) requires gcin, and 3) is not very informative. What do you reckon? Regards, Ding-Yi Chen
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Just comment that in general it is preferred to follow the Packaging Naming Guidelines. Otherwise you need to get a guideline approved by FPC really.
gcin has been marked as "Retired orphaned" package in Fedora 24, hence, closing this bug as WONTFIX as of now. Please feel free to reopen it if required. Reference : http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/gcin.git/commit/?h=f24
