Fwd: speech-dispatcher-contrib not building
Hello,
TL;DR: speech-dispatcher-contrib does not get build on buildds,
apparently because it depends on libttspico-dev which is in non-free. Is
there a way to get it automatically built rather than having to build&upload
it for each and every architecture?

Dear nonfree builder maintainers,
Although the name of your e-mail list suggest this holds for nonfree
only, I think that the following building issue may also lie within your
power, but please let me know if I am wrong here.
Following the developers-reference¹, if I want packages in nonfree to be
build I should add XS-Autobuild in the debian/control file of nonfree
packages and contact you. What I am missing to find in the documentation
if this is also required for packages in contrib that depend on nonfree.
I am guessing that I also should request here to have the package build
once I add the header?
So to become concrete: the package speech-dispatcher-contrib package
(part of contrib) is build from the same source as speech-dispatcher
(part of main) with only an additional build-dependency on
libttspico-dev which lives in nonfree (and is already autobuild there).
As far as I can tell, the reason why this fails to build² is that the
nonfree archive is not added (by default?) to the buildd for contrib.
Could you enable building of speech-dispatcher-contrib or are we (the
accessibility team) doing something wrong in the packaging (XS-Autobuild
is not added yet)? If there are special requirements to get this to
work, shouldn't this maybe mentioned in the developers-reference as well?
Looking forward to your response
Paul

What's this script do?
unzip ; touch ; finger ; mount ; gasp ; yes ; umount ; sleep
Hint for the answer: not everything is computer-oriented. Sometimes you're
in a sleeping bag, camping out.
