1 Hi all,
2 I'm about to package emacspeak 39.0 for Gentoo.
3 Emacspeak comes with a launcher script, called /usr/bin/emacspeak. I
4 used it for many years, but I've found it to be buggy. It has caused
5 problems for at least three people in the past, including myself.
6 Furthermore, T.V. Raman, the author of Emacspeak, has publicly stated
7 that he does not recommend the use of the launcher script. I'd really
8 like to remove it downstream from 39.0 and subsequent versions of the
9 Gentoo package.
10 Any objections?

12 The recommended way to launch Emacspeak is from your .emacs file. I added
13 the following to mine:
14 (load "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/lisp/emacspeak-setup.el")
