This build of festival speech engine follows the ideas of Debian festival build. for information on Debian build see README.Debian. * Differerences to Upstream which are common with Debian - The standard .scm files are located in /usr/share/festival. * Debian - specific differerences to Upstream, which are not included in this build. - DTDs and related files are in /usr/share/sgml/festival. - custom config files /etc/festival.scm /etc/festvars.scm * ALT specific issues - /usr/lib/festival is used as libexec dir; in particaular, it is also searched for binares such as mbrola. - /etc/festival/server.scm is server config file (Gentoo inspired). Note that it is loaded directly into the init script, so the server settings are different from standalone festival. - there is support for russian language in --language switch -------------------------------------------------- ** a cite of Matthias Urlichs 's README.Debian: If you want to enable the Festival server code, you need to: - Set the 'server_access_list' variable to the host names you want to grant access to the server. Note that this variable holds a regular expression which is matched against whatever the client's IP address resolves to (or the address itself, if address-to-name resolution fails). For local connections, that is the first name in the '127.0.0.1' line of /etc/hosts; it may or may not be 'localhost'. Set 'server_access_list' to NIL if you want to control access by other means (e.g., if your firewall filters incoming access to TCP port 1314, or whatever you've set the 'server_port' variable to): (set! 'server_access-list nil)
