Greetings List. |

I am in the position of having 2 ones near and der to me who will |
| 4 |
in the next years lose their sight. I also will be there at some |
| 5 |
time if I continue in doing as much computer science hours as I |
| 6 |
am right now :) |

In the past I've tryed everything to get speech synthesis working |
| 9 |
to it's full potential. I got wolf to teach me how to do livecd |
| 10 |
builds, and I've done a couple, and I'm pretty close to getting |
| 11 |
speak-up in a live cd env, but, then they pulled it from the |
| 12 |
main kernel, so now I would like to know, are there any ways I |
| 13 |
can continue working on this, as put the last kernel build in an |
| 14 |
overlay, make a patch ebuild to retrieve the patches etc. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If I can solve the problem of how to get the kernel to build with |
| 17 |
the code in again, then tht will help, as I have already got |
| 18 |
sftsyn type working before. I also want to make a meta-package |
| 19 |
which will pull in all bits that we need for the default sftsyn |
| 20 |
setup, and get them all configured, so I can then say, in the |
| 21 |
livecd emerge gentoo-sftsyn, and get a default with say, a |
| 22 |
kernel patch, espeak, speech-dispatcher and all the services |
| 23 |
maybe added to /etc/init.d/ |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Of course I'm only new here so someone will tell me I'm insane, |
| 26 |
but any ideas of how to get this done would be huge. I will |
| 27 |
write the ebuilds etc, just need to make sure I'm not wasteing |
| 28 |
time in barking up a tree with no cats in it. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Then maybe after someone can tell me why is the speak-up patch |
| 31 |
not good for the mainstream gentoo-sources, and how can we fix |
| 32 |
it with upstream, or does it just need someone to take care of |
| 33 |
it in gentoo-sources or what. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Sorry for length of post, hope these Q are at least sensible. |
