[Tts-project] Bug#774009: speech-dispatcher-festival: docs reference nonexistant /etc/init.d/festival file

[Tim Chase]

Package: speech-dispatcher-festival
Version: 0.7.1-6.2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

The documentation at
/usr/share/doc/speech-dispatcher-festival/README.Debian
states that """
In order to use Speech Dispatcher with Festival (which is recommended), you
must have installed this package (or the packages it depends on) and the
Festival server started.  To achieve the latter, you must start the server
either by hand such as running

  festival --server

on a command line or in some script, or you must comment out the

  exit 0

line in the /etc/init.d/festival file.
"""

No such /etc/init.d/festival file exists in any of the

- speech-dispatcher
- speech-dispatcher-festival
- festival

packages:

$ dpkg -L speech-dispatcher{,-festival} festival | grep /etc/init.d
/etc/init.d
/etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher

Resolution would involve one of

1) creating an /etc/init.d/festival containing such an "exit 0" line

2) update the README.Debian with corrected instructions
