If you use the 2007.0 live cd, speakup is included, but not |
| 16 |
speech-dispatcher or espeak. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The reason speakup was pulled from gentoo-sources was that it was not at |
| 19 |
the time compatible with version 2.6.22 of the kernel. Upstream is working on making it compatible with newer kernels. However, AFAIK, speakup is still part of earlier versions of gentoo-sources. |

|
| 21 |
I don't know the current status, but work is going on to clean up |
| 22 |
speakup code so that it can be merged into the mainline kernel at some |
| 23 |
point. |

Speech-dispatcher is really the only thing that needs something in |
| 35 |
/etc/init.d, and espeak is a dependency for speech-dispatcher. I don't |
| 36 |
see what you want to do with a meta-package. Can you give me a better |
| 37 |
idea? |

Thanks, |
