Although I'm primarily using brltty in my linux installation on a ppc mac mini, I am trying to experiment with trying to get speakup and softsynth running. Although I have done some googling and looking at the speakup website, I'm having some problems finding information on the things that have changed in speakup since I last used it regularly. I'm not asking somebody to post a full explanation but would appreciate it if somebody could steer me to the appropriate information. First of all, I keep hearing about git. What is git? Does it replace the cvs patches and should I be using this with my 2.6.24 kernel? If so, where can I learn about this and find out how to use git? I'm afraid I just don't git it--*grin*!!! second, where can I find current instructions on using softsynth? I do have both festival and flite on my system and might even be able to dig up my old copy of dectalk though I'm not sure about that. But I keep hearing little comments that lead me to believe something may have changed in the loading and usage of software speech with speakup. How can I bring myself up-to-date on these changes?
