Ok, the command I ran is: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
equery size espeak speakup espeakup portaudio |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
This returns the following: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
app-accessibility/espeak-1.40.02: total(304), inaccessible(0), size(2845230) |
| 20 |
app-accessibility/espeakup-0.60: total(16), inaccessible(0), size(99234) |
| 21 |
app-accessibility/speakup-3.0.3_p200904041142: total(34), inaccessible(0), size(257646) |
| 22 |
media-libs/portaudio-19_pre20071207: total(43), inaccessible(0), size(554648) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
So, somewhere between 3 and 4 mb, not including alsa support. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I realize that everyone wouldn't use this, but for those of us who do, |
| 27 |
it does not fall into the category of a "nice feature to have", it is a |
| 28 |
necessity. So, I think it should go on both our live and minimal cds. |
