SVN access to the repository

You can check out the latest development source code from the SVN trunk, using the following command:

   svn checkout https://mary.opendfki.de/repos/trunk openmary

The source code of released versions can be found below tags/. For example, to check out the source code of the "4.0.0" release, do this:

   svn checkout https://mary.opendfki.de/repos/tags/4.1.1 openmary-4.1.1

Bug reports

If you think you have identified a bug, we would like to hear about it. For a meaningful bug report, proceed as follows:

1. Check in the list of known bugs whether the bug has been reported already;
2. If you cannot find it, create a new ticket containing the following information:
   • operating system and java version used;
   • what to do to reproduce the error;
   • expected behaviour;
   • detailed log files, i.e. an excerpt of MARY TTS/log/server.log containing the error episode.
3. Discuss the problem on the ​MARY user mailing list.

Mailing List

If you use the MARY system, you can subscribe to the ​mary-users mailing list. Topics that should be discussed here include:

• How to use the MARY system: run the server, start the client, save audio, run MARY in standalone mode, etc.
• Suggestions for improvement, bug reports, feature requests (no guarantees of course that anyone has time to do it).

The ​MARY developers mailing list is for discussions around the MARY TTS source code:

• Improvements of the core MARY code;
• issues around attempts to build new language components and voices;
• issues arising when integrating MARY TTS into other code.

You can search past messages on the Mary-users or the Mary-developers lists:

Contributions

People interested in adding support for a language in MARY TTS can contact Marc Schröder (schroed at dfki.de). We can discuss whether you want to do your development on your own servers or in a branch on the MARY SVN repository. Once it is sufficiently mature, your contribution could be merged into the trunk and become part of a future MARY TTS release.

Any pronunciation corrections are welcome on the PronunciationCorrections page.
