4 Hi Zach,
5
6 The way you install speakup depends on how you want to maintain it. If
7 you want to maintain speakup yourself and to be able to build it into
8 the kernel, you will have to use the speakup git repository and do the
9 installation from there, the way you are used to doing it. Also, you
10 will need to put a line in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided to tell
11 portage not to attempt to emerge the gentoo package for speakup when you
12 emerge speechd-up later.
13
14 The "official" way of running speakup on gentoo currently is to run it
15 as modules outside the kernel tree. To do this, we have a package.
16
17 Before you install the speakup package, make sure that you have emerged,
18 configured, compiled and installed at least gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r1.
19 Then just emerge speakup. Once that is done, make sure to set up the
20 speakup module you want to load either in
21 /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 or /etc/conf.d/modules depending on
22 which version of baselayout you are running.
23
24 You will also need the very latest speech-dispatcher and speechd-up
25 packages to have software speech. Just emerge them as usual and add
26 them to the default runlevel with rc-update.
27
28 Let me know if you have any questions.

30 Thanks,
