Yesterday I managed to get myself an account on droplinegnome.org I left a bug message since droplinegnome hasn't yet got festival where one can install it and use it to get orca talking. Today I managed to build the astrolog 5.40 package for slackware and did it correctly enough that the package shows up in my packages list when I install it and so far as I can tell the whole package works too. I just learned how to make a slackware package that would do that. Unfortunately linuxpackages.net uses capsha's so even though I built a package I can't register and submit it. Not good news for anyone else in the speakup community wanting to submit a package. What I'm curious to know though is what the situation is with debian fedoraproject, gentoo, and ubuntu. Do these sites also block totally blind package submitters from registering? It was a surprise to me droplinegnome didn't place such an impediment in my way but I'm not going to hold that against them.
