-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, I am pleased to announce that speakup is now available as a package on gentoo. It requires at least gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r1 in order to run. To install it, do the following: Make sure you unmask gentoo-sources and speakup, if you haven't already, by doing this: echo sys-kernel/gentoo-sources >> /etc/portage/package.keywords echo app-accessibility/speakup >> /etc/portage/package.keywords Next, emerge, configure, compile and install the latest version of gentoo-sources. Make sure that /usr/src/linux points to the new kernel. You will not see anything about configuring speakup when you configure the kernel, but that is normal. After the kernel is installed, emerge speakup. This will build speakup as modules, outside the kernel tree. In order to have your system start speaking on boot, you need to set up the synth module in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 or /etc/conf.d/modules, depending on the version of baselayout you are using. I just committed this a few minutes ago, so it may take some time to go to the rsync mirrors; I would suggest waiting about 45 minutes after this message is sent then doing an emerge --sync. Please test and provide feedback. Thanks much. - -- William Hubbs gentoo accessibility team lead williamh at gentoo.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkgKcOYACgkQblQW9DDEZTjttwCeNsm8Sumb/fS9EgjBb4HBKCD3 TdwAoJNPXpPsdwhtG6lMk7TeJnzFvGCu =VfGT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
