...there's no other sources of italian voices, so there's no choice on
quality. ;)
[Indeed, italian voices are very good in quality]

I've done:

1) old asterisk-prompt-it contains only GSM format, so i've downloaded
the file:
	http://voip.ammdomus.it/pub/asterisk-core-sounds-it-gsm-1.4.15-mm20090405.tar.gz
from:
	http://voip.ammdomus.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=3&Itemid=4
and unpacked:
 eraldo:/usr/src/asterisk-1.6# mkdir asterisk-prompt-it-gsm-1.4.15-mm20090405
 eraldo:/usr/src/asterisk-1.6# cd asterisk-prompt-it-gsm-1.4.15-mm20090405
 eraldo:/usr/src/asterisk-1.6/asterisk-prompt-it-gsm-1.4.15-mm20090405# tar xvvzf ../asterisk-core-sounds-it-gsm-1.4.15-mm20090405.tar.gz

2) copy debian/ folder from old package to the new one

3) alter debian/* files as my knowledge permit, Some note:
 + renamed package asterisk-prompt-it-gsm, used
   Provides/Conflicts/Replaces in control (see 5)
 + tried to fix bug 544281 in control
 + changed copyright (i've to translate in English?)
 + some documentation contain spaces, i've used '*.pdf' in docs...
 + changed README.Debian
 + remove all download code in rules
 + watch not touched, but have to be (i don't know how).

4) build with a simple:
	debian/rules binary

5) clearly with a minimal effort i can produce packages with other file
 formats (alaw, wav, sln16); i don't know if it is better to have 4
sources package or a single one with more compex debian rules.
With by knowledge i can easily build 4 source packages.
Or it is better to have a single binary package with all format within.


As i don't know how to make a source package, you can find my work on:

	http://eraldo.lilliput.linux.it/~gaio/asterisk-prompt-it-gsm-1.4.15-mm20090405-deb.tgz


Next days i will build other format (at least alaw) and test the
package.

Say me.
