• Removing gnome-speech from Debian

    From Jeremy Bicha@21:1/5 to All on Sat Dec 30 06:30:02 2017
    I intend to file a removal bug for gnome-speech soon.

    The last thing to use it was dasher but I think that wasn't needed any
    more after the 5.0 beta.

    gnome-speech hadn't been maintained upstream since 2009 and it uses
    the libbonobo library which we are trying to remove from Debian before
    the Buster release.

    Thanks,
    Jeremy Bicha

    Indeed.

    Yes, people are all using speech-dispatcher nowadays anyway.

    Thanks,
