All, |
5 |
|
6 |
I need some opinions about accessibility on our release media. |
7 |
|
8 |
I am requesting that we add the following to all of our release media |
9 |
for amd64 and x86: |
10 |
|
11 |
app-accessibility/espeak (with portaudio in use so it supports alsa) |
12 |
app-accessibility/espeakup |
13 |
app-accessibility/speakup |
14 |
[alsa support] |
15 |
|
16 |
This is needed so that a blind person can independently install gentoo |
17 |
linux using either hardware or software speech. |
18 |
|
19 |
Agaffney is stating that he doesn't want to add this support to the |
20 |
minimal cd because it will increase the size of the cd and it is not |
21 |
required to do an install. He is willing to put it on the live cd. I |
22 |
think it should go there as well as go on the minimal. I'm not |
23 |
comfortable, however, with it just going on the live cd since the live |
24 |
cds are not built near as often as the minimal cds. |
25 |
|
26 |
I understand his point about keeping the minimal cd small, but I |
27 |
disagree about the software not being required to do an install. If a |
28 |
blind person wants to install gentoo from a minimal cd, the software is |
29 |
a requirement, not an extra feature that would be nice to have. |
30 |
|
31 |
My question for the group is, how do you feel about speech software |
32 |
being on our minimal cd as well as our live cd? |
33 |
|
34 |
Thanks, |
35 |
|
