I am building a VirtualBox VM, based on Ubuntu disco, for use with Vagrant. I would like to
install Emacspeak in this VM. I have a couple of questions I'm hoping you can answer for me.
I'm doing the installations by means of a shell script which invokes "apt-get install -y ...".
So, I'd like to avoid the configuration dialogs, eg:
- "Default speech server: ..."
- "If a hardware device is used to generate speech, ..."
Looking in .../debian/config, I get the impression that I should be able to avoid these dialogs
by pre-filling a configuration file. However, I can't find any documentation that explains how
to do this and I'd rather not try to reverse engineer the Perl. Can you give me (a pointer to)
this information?
I also need some plausible answers for these questions. Given that I'm already installing the
eSpeakNG package, my guess is that "espeak" and "none" would be reasonable. Does this seem OK?
