Bug#582092: libttspico0: pico2wave should be in a separate..

Package: libttspico0
Version: 1.0+git20100205-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

The pico2wave command should probably not be packaged along the library,
but as a separate libttspico-utils package (or maybe just pico2wave)

Thanks for your bug report.

I was wondering if having a so tiny package is relevant (Uncompressed
libttspico0 is currently 388 ko pico2wave being 9.9 ko of it). Asked
on IRC, I now understand the deep reason for this (see below).

I will fix this in an uncoming version.

As you are maintainer of various accessibility and TTS software in
Debian, would you join me to maintain SVOX Pico?

lib packages? (Especialy when the lib package is tiny...)

not conflict with the previous version?

libpkg0 isn't is sufficient?
(14:12:35) azeem_: sathieu1: pgk-bin?
(14:12:46) ol: sathieu1: no, because libfoo0 and libfoo1 will both
have the same file in
(14:13:2 sathieu1: (okay, pkg is not a good example: real example is
libttspico0)
(14:14:06) sathieu1: ol: okay I understand now. Thanks
