As @evorster reported, a split package for such a big collection is not viable in the AUR.

Split packages in the repos (e.g. tesseract-data from which I took inspiration) work fine because the end user can download and install them individually, while split packages from the AUR must build and package everything, and only then the user can install only what he needs.

Therefore I am going to change the pkgname=() array and prepare_*() function from piper-voices, in order to introduce individual packages for each locale.

Seems like the files are not being pulled correctly as well with the current PKGBUILD. Does it work for you @evorster ?

Hi there!

I can see that these packages are still in a bit of flux, but I have to report that currently it is not possible to install piper-voices-en-gb and piper-voices-en-us concurrently.

Each of those also seem to want to clone all of the piper-voices git, which kind of defeats the purpose of splitting apart all these packages....

In the piper-voices.install in line 38, there is a stray ` (backtick) that causes a syntax error.

I think there's an issue with your PKGBUILD. It ends in an error: error: command failed to execute correctly

I also tried to run the speak example command afterwords and it complains with: 

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Model file doesn't exist
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1000:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave

The audio file generation with:
