Using espeak-ng instead of espeak in speech-dispatcher
by Ondřej Lysoněk
Hi,
In Fedora 28, we're planning to start using espeak-ng as the default
module for speech synthesis in speech-dispatcher, instead of espeak.
Support for the espeak module is planned to be dropped entirely, however
this should not have any negative impact on users, as espeak-ng is
simply a continuation of the espeak project and is mostly compatible
with espeak. Any necessary changes to the configuration will be taken
care of by a scriptlet on upgrade. The change should be completely
transparent to users. Also, no changes are necessary in any other packages.
The reason for this change is the following. espeak, which is currently
the default output module in speech-dispatcher, is not developed
anymore, as the original developer is unreachable [1]. The espeak
community created a new project based on the original espeak, called
espeak-ng [2]. espeak-ng is largely compatible with the original espeak,
and it is actively developed. So it makes sense to start using espeak-ng
instead of espeak.
If you have any concerns or questions about this change, please reach
out to me.

GNOME 3.28.0 megaupdate
by Kalev Lember
Hi all,
I'm wrangling the GNOME 3.28.0 builds in Fedora and the plan is to
submit a single megaupdate with all of 3.28.0 builds into Bodhi. If
you're helping with builds, please use 'fedpkg build --target f28-gnome'
for F28 builds and I'll pick your build up when submitting the bodhi
update later this week.
Thanks,
Kalev

Unified ostree repositories in Fedora
by Dusty Mabe
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
TL;DR: If you use f27 atomic workstation or rawhide atomic host/workstation then you
need to add a new remote and rebase.

Hey Atomic Land,
In Fedora we have migrated to using a single unified repository setup for our
ostree repositories. This means that f28+ all releases will be served out of
the same ostree repo. The repo will be located at https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/atomic/repo/.
If you are a current user of rawhide atomic host/workstation or a current user
of f27 atomic workstation please run the above commands on your machine to
move to the new repository setup. Current users of F27 Atomic Host don't need
to do anything at this time.
Please let us know if you have any questions!
Dusty
