Hi, What I am saying is if speakup is not compatible with other kernels why when checking out speakup from cvs is there diff22 and diff24 support for the 2.2 and 2.4 kernels in speakup if they no longer work? Will speakup even patch into the latest 2.2 or 2.4 kernels from the cvs system? Why are they changing to another method I think cvs is a good method? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 6:53 PM Subject: Re: speakup, 2.6.22, and the way forward > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Git from what I understand, is like cvs and svn, but I don't know the > specifics. > > As for losing compatibility with earlier kernels, I'm not sure I > understand your concern here, since speakup wasn't compatible with > earlier kernels for a good while now.
