[Tts-project] Adoption of src:festival-doc?

[Sergio Oller]

Dear all,

Thank you for the suggestions and the encouragement. I have had a cold that
has forced me to stay at home for a few days, leaving me time to do things,
so I bring news:

Regarding src:festival-doc:
====================
 - I have added myself as a Maintainer.
 - I have removed festival-doc from debian/control, leaving only
speech-tools-doc to be built.
 - http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=tts/festival-doc.git;a=summary

Regarding festival-doc:
=================
- It is now built from src:festival, in git master branch.
- I have not found in the Debian policy if a "Conflicts", "Breaks" or
"Replaces" is needed as the binary package has not changed "festival-doc".
- http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=tts/festival.git;a=summary

Regarding speech-tools-doc:
=====================
- It is now built from src:speech-tools in git speech-tools-doc branch!
-
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=tts/speech-tools.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/speech-tools-doc
- The patch is huge: a line count on the related doc-*.diff patches shows
that the patches add up to almost 35k lines:

$ wc -l debian/patches/doc-*.diff

    385 debian/patches/doc-config.diff
     31 debian/patches/doc-disable-doxygen-treeview.diff
  20850 debian/patches/doc-doc.diff
   6098 debian/patches/doc-include.diff
   2411 debian/patches/doc-main.diff
     11 debian/patches/doc-Makefile.diff
   1472 debian/patches/doc-scripts.diff
   3733 debian/patches/doc-testsuite.diff
  34991 total


If you agree to accept this patch, I will merge it into master and then we
can remove src:festival-doc completely. If you feel the patch is too large,
we can wait (who knows for how long) for upstream to release a new version.

The patch has already been forwarded to upstream and it will be merged for
the next speech-tools version anyway.

Best regards,

Sergio
