Fine. So we have a fallback solution. Now what my idea was. It's
possible to run speech-dispatcher 0.8 without upgrading dotconf from 1.0
to 1.3.
The commit introducing the 1.3 requirement for dotconf is this one:
http://git.freebsoft.org/?p=speechd.git;a=commit;h=eafe367b85d2077d1818dcb469009801d7bf3f4b
Commit message:
dot.conf versions before 1.3 have memory allocation issues which can
cause a crash, so we need at least this version.
A report on possible crash is also here, on speechd mailing list:
http://lists.freebsoft.org/pipermail/speechd/2010q4/003614.html
However Paul did not witness any crash reports regarding
speech-dispatcher 0.7 on Debian. Dotconf is used only when reading
configuration files, so maybe the problems (if any) can be present only
at startup. This makes me think that while having problems with 1.3
dotconf release, we could lower the dotconf requirement to 1.0. I tested
this and it seems to work.
If anyone knows about the situation in which old dotconf may cause
problems in speech-dispatcher, please let us know.
