ran into my first problem when testing simon: the microphone doesn't seem to work (just flat 0%, asks me to adjust my volume - while mic is working fine in other apps).

just a quick note to myself from our IRC session today:

@fux: did some first test, simon's configuration dialog works great for me, also seems very stable. do you want me to comment on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353283 ? (not sure my comment would contribute much as I am running a very different setup here - no julius, centos instead of fedora...)

also managed to build RPMs now (not tested them yet):

@ltoscano: releaseme.git did the trick for me. for reference (couldn't seem to find these anywhere), I created these two files to create a simon tarball that includes i18n/i10n :

ah, very cool - will look into those soon - thanks! :)

thanks for your kind offer, but actually I was looking for the official source where to get those files - obviously there must be some mechanism in place how l10n und i18n is handled in the KDE universe.

As discussed in our IRC meeting, I started to work on building an RPM from simon. As I am not familiar with how things are handled in KDE nowadays I ran into the problem of finding translation files for simon - github (where I cloned sources from) does not seem to provide any po/.mo files - so rpmbuild is complaining about that:

ok, I have packed and installed the latest sphinx 5prealpha code which seems to have worked fine.
