I think it would be an asset to the distro if we could figure out a way to get |
6 |
sftsyn working on the livecd. It would probably never see primetime, but if |
7 |
we could at least get in included in the downloadable catalyst scripts or |
8 |
something then people who need this can compile it up from that. Anyway. |
9 |
It is this end, the creation of a custom catalyst script that includes sftsyn |
10 |
support in a livecd, that I am trying to reach. I demo'd the system on a full |
11 |
install to some clients of mine here and there is intrest in getting gentoo into |
12 |
systems for use by housebound people with MS and ME. |

I understand this will require the use of 2.6.20 sources, which the ebuilds |
17 |
will have to be put in an overlay so they don't disappear. |
18 |
This will hold true till upstream is done with their rejig. |

In order to accomplish this, some extra packages need to be added to the |
22 |
stock standard list, services need to be added to etc/init.d by using the |
23 |
appropriate catalyst conf lines, then the whole thing needs to be built. |
24 |
The addition of speech-dispatcher and espeak packages is not a problem. |
25 |
As an additional question though, what about the MASKED freebsoft-utils, which |
26 |
seems to be needed for sftsyn to work? |

29 |
The meta-package idea is a seperate issue and can be delt with later, |
30 |
as on reflection it is unnecessary here and probably in all events. |
