Hi all, I have just compiled the 2.6.24-6 Debian kernel and created unofficial Debian packages. I used the kernel-package utility so these should be close to the official Debian versions but with Speakup included. I built all synths as modules except the DEC-talk Express and the Speakup core which are actually built into the kernel. I'm making them available for download if anyone wants them. I have never compiled kernels this way before but I think I did everything right. The only error I had was that they are not signed with gpg. I would appreciate it if anyone wants to test the kernel image. If this is helpful, I will try to build new kernels as security fixes are made available. On the build system, it took a very long time so this is not something worth the effort if no one finds the packages useful. The manual package seems to be empty but there was only man page in section 9 on my system so I didn't worry about it. You can download the kernel source if you wish but it is the same as that from the official Debian archives except for the Speakup patches. I did a git clone of the Speakup repo just before building so all should be current. The last commit to the log was on April 14. As always, I take no responsibility for any damage these packages might cause to your system, whether real or imagined. You use these at your own risk, but I plan to use them on my system. The following url is not an apt repository. It is simply a directory with packages to download. Their names should be obvious but you can look at the .changes file if you need clarification. Please try to use the nyud.net url if possible to save me bandwidth, but if that doesn't work, you can use the second link. Comments on the usefulness of these packages are welcome. I would like to know if I did something wrong, but they looked right from the size and descriptions. Also, mirrors would be helpful and future help building new kernels would be appreciated if this is a useful service. http://baechler.net.nyud.net/debian/ http://baechler.net/debian/ if the above doesn't work Note that I'm fully aware that 2.6.24 is not the latest kernel version. However, it is the latest currently available in Debian unstable and is dated 18 April. Check a Debian mirror if you wish. I was surprised that 2.6.24.5 and 2.6.25 aren't yet available. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
