Will speakup even patch into the latest 2.2 or 2.4 kernels from the cvs system? Why are they changing to another method I think cvs is a good method? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" To: Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 6:53 PM Subject: Re: speakup, 2.6.22, and the way forward > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Git from what I understand, is like cvs and svn, but I don't know the > specifics. > > As for losing compatibility with earlier kernels, I'm not sure I > understand your concern here, since speakup wasn't compatible with > earlier kernels for a good while now.
