This is definitely great news!! So what's next from here? As you said Janina it's probably not going to help me in the short run, but at least we know it's coming [I hope] I have contacted IBM Accessibility and awaiting their response, let's hope someone over there knows something about speakup and RHEL --David -----Original Message----- From: blinux-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx <blinux-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of Linux for blind general discussion Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2020 6:42 AM To: Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: installing speakup on RHEL 7/8 Indeed, but this conversation started over the question of Speakup in a RHEL kernel. So, now that we've established the technical objections are all cleared, it will be interesting whether Speakup is promoted to main or not. If it goes into main, RHEL would seemingly need to include it at long last. Or am I wrong about that? I'm watching to see whether we still have political opposition as we have in the past, by my memory of events. One would hope not, but it's deeds that count.
