Hello, Apparently your mail isn't getting to the speakup mailing list for some reason, so I'm trying to forward it: Ben Hutchings, le Fri 10 Sep 2010 04:44:59 +0100, a ?crit : > I'm a member of the Debian Linux kernel team. > > We have a general policy that any features added to the kernel package > should already have been accepted for inclusion in some later upstream > version of Linux.

We have made an exception for speakup so that it > can be used during installation, but we do not want to carry this patch > indefinitely. > > I talked to Greg Kroah-Hartman about this briefly and he would welcome a > submission of speakup for inclusion under 'staging'. Is there any > reason not to do this? One issue still pending is that speakup pokes the serial i/o ports itself, but apart from that it could be a good idea, yes. Samuel
