Applying speakup 2.0 patch on debian kernel 2.6.16 failed

[Dart Vader]

Hi.

Can't apply speakup patch on a debian kernal. I do:

$ cd /usr/src/linux
$ make mrproper
$ cd /usr/src/speakup-2.0/
$ ./install 
Patching version v26
Creating .orig files [...............] done.
Patching files [pp1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file arch/mips/Kconfig.rej
p1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file arch/sparc64/Kconfig.rej
p1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file arch/sparc/Kconfig.rej
pppp9 out of 13 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file drivers/char/vt.c.rej
pp1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file drivers/Makefile.rej
ppppp] done.
Copying files [ccccc] done.
$ 

I use the following debian kernal:
Linux version 2.6.16-2-k7 (Debian 2.6.16-15) (waldi@debian.org) (gcc version 4.0.4 20060507 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.3-3)) #1 Wed Jun 21 18:43:32 UTC 2006

I use a downloaded from speakup website tarball of speakup source:
speakup-2.0.tar.gz

What I did wrong? Where can I get docs to solve my problem?
Tell me if I should provide to you more information about my system.

It seems like you're applying speakup 2.0 from the tarball, and that
won't work. You need to either use the latest cvs version, or go back
to a kernel that the tarball will still patch against. I don't
remember what kernel version that would be, maybe someone else knows,
or you'll just have to search the list archives, in the hope of
finding that info. Hth.

Actually, now that I think of it, you're trying to patch a 2.6.16
kernel, in which case, the latest cvs won't work either. You'll need
to in that case move up to 2.6.17 or higher as of now, or figure out
on which date the patches went into cvs to make speakup work with
2.6.17, and check out cvs from before that date. Good luck.

Actually, the latest CVS version won't work for 2.6.16 either.  You will need to
pull the version from before June 18th.  On the 19th, CVS Speakup was patched to
work only with 2.6.17.

HTH,
Lorenzo

I happened to find out about the issue with CVS Speakup and kernel 2.6.16 first
hand.  As it turns out, for some reason my laptop refuses to run kernel 2.6.17,
however 2.6.16 works great.  So I tried to patch the 2.6.16 source with the
latest Speakup and got about 10 or more failures.  I had to use trial and error
to pick the right date to patch 2.6.16 because I couldn't remember the date when
the revision was made that allowed Speakup to patch 2.6.17.  As it turns out, if
you set the revision date to 20060618, (June 18th), your 2.6.16 kernel will
patch with no trouble at all.

You also may want to consider moving to 2.6.17, but as I mentioned, it could be
problematic on some machines.  It works flawlessly on my tower, but spews some
text I can't read on my laptop (which doesn't have a serial port and needs
softsynth), and shuts down without even mounting any partitions from the hard
disk.

HTH,
Lorenzo

Re: Applying speakup 2.0 patch on debian kernel 2.6.16 failed

Hi.

Thank you very much for your attention!

2.6.17 kernel works incorrectly on my system, so I have to use 2.6.16.
Could you tell me where to get info how to work with CVS, how to set a
revision date, wich utilities to use, etc. And where is the speakup
CVS. As I have never use CVS at all.

BTW, I also have downloaded the "checkout" script, can it help me?


Hope you help.

The speakup cvs server is at linux-speakup.org, though you'll probably
want to use the mirror at fl.linux-speakup.org instead. The login name
is anonymous, and the password is please.

Yes, the checkout script will help you lots, it's what most of us
here, if not all of us, use to patch speakup into our kernels. There
should be a readme.checkout, or checkout.readme, (I don't remember
exactly) file that describes how to use the checkout script, and you
should find that file at the same place where you got the checkout
script from.

As for how to use cvs, look at the documentation, man page, and info
pages that come with the cvs package. Searching the web is also a good
source of info. I've only had to check out cvs from an earlier date
once, so I don't remember how it's done, but the man cvs page is what
told me how it was done in the first place. I don't remember for sure,
but the line of the checkout script that I modified was the one that
reads:

cvs co -P speakup || exit

, that's line number 37 of the script. However, don't quote me on
that, because I don't remember for sure. Hth some what.

I have a standing checkout script called checkout-date which I have
permenantly modified to include the date parm on the cvs command line
and a variable declaration at the top of the script for ease of use.

Near the top, I have
DATE=2006-01-01

Then down at the cvs command line, mine was changed to look like this.

cvs co -D $DATE -P speakup || exit

This works every time for me.  While I was trying to use old kernels
recently, I would look to see when the kernel was produced at
ftp.kernel.org and then set the date in the checkout script to be a week
or so later than that and hope I would get good patches.  I was quite
successful doing that.

Hi.

Now it is O.K. I've patched my kernel with speakup of CVS revision date
2006-06-18 successfully.

Thanks to:
Steve Holmes, Lorenzo Taylor, Gregory Nowak         .
