Here's something for those interested in getting speakup into gentoo.
I can't believe that people who maintain a distro like gentoo don't
know what to do with source code when they get it.

Ill look back into speakup, i had tried to add support
6+months ago.. the author would only supply me with some
wierd src package that i spent days trying to make work or rpms
of binary modules for rh kernels.

Go figure. They contacted me a long time ago and wanted to know if
I'd port speakup to gentoo. I said no because I didn't deal with
various distributions but they could get a nice script which would
automagically patch their kernels for them. I have no idea where the
rpm reference came from, it certainly wasn't me. Maybe this guy is
confused and he is mixing-up me and Bill.
I know that Toby Fisher and Doug Loller are both using gentoo.
Whether they have decided to include speakup into the distribution or
just patch it in after the fact I can't say. I'm sure they can
though.

Hi Kirk,
I am also using gentoo.
I used the system rescue cd from www.sysresccd.org to do the install,
I had to patch in speakup after the fact.
I think it wouldn't be a big deal for them to patch speakup into the kernel for the live cd.
I am willing to send them the checkout script if they want me to do that.
Should we give them the checkout script or the 1.5 tarball though? What is your opinion about that?
Thanks,
William

This is a tough question to answer because I am not really that
familiar with gentoo. I believe they have two distributions an online
and a cd. I would recommend the 1.5 tarball for the cd version and
cvs for the online. The difficulty with this approach is cvs is not
always stable. It is most of the time but from time to time I break
it when I want to check in stuff I'm working on so either I don't lose it
or I want to work on it in different places. For instance cvs is once
again becoming stable but there are still a few outstanding bugs.

Just as a side note, we are currently using speakup 1.5 in
systemrescuecd, until we need to move over to the 2.6.x kernels.

Slackware also went with Speakup 1.5 in the 9.1 release, and also went
down to just one Speakup kernel with the Adaptec drivers compiled into it.
It is called speakup.s. I guess the Adaptec cards are the most popular
SCSI cards.

Can you use that kernel image to at least boot a computer that has
regular IDE stuff and no particular SCSI hardware? for my machines
around here, I always use the speakup.i when building up a new box or
re-install a new slack from start.

The speakup.s kernel is the same as the speakup.i kernel, with the addition
of the adaptech scsi cards. In other words, yes you can use it to install to
IDE drives.

I patched speakup into the sys-kernel/vanilla-sources kernel which is
now up to 2.4.21 I believe. Basically what you do to install gentoo is
untar a gentoo stage tarball into an empty partition then follow there
install instructions. It is not necessary to have an actual gentoo cdrom to
install this. I suspect even a toms root disk would do. When you untar
the tar ball you chroot into the gentoo environment and do all of your
configuration inside the gentoo chroot.
