-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Garrett, > How will this work for those of us who want speakup in the kernel? Are > we just going to have to stick with vanilla kernel.org kernels? Until 2.6.26 comes out, that is what I suggest. Here is why. Putting speakup directly into the kernel requires two patches. A patch to the kernel sources, and a patch to the build system. If you try to run the install script from the speakup git repository, it will attempt to apply both patches to the kernel. But, since the patch to the sources is already applied to gentoo-sources, this would be an error condition. The reason this will be different with 2.6.26 is that our patche to the sources was accepted into the official kernel.org tree, so now we only will patch the build system if you want to have speakup in the kernel. Speakup itself will not be in 2.6.26, just the hooks that make it possible for speakup to run. There are still issues to work out with speakup before we can ask for it to be accepted into the official kernel tree. Does that make sense? - -- William Hubbs gentoo accessibility team lead williamh at gentoo.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkgjtWcACgkQblQW9DDEZThNKgCeIlLpNbRCLwIu0xHiP/1lfNH9 3vIAn1EQaxew5Gfh4n4/+lxfAsaN7sVX =Qkal -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
