Lenny is planned to be shipped with 2.6.26, so there will be a new compilation. Since reports say a new snapshot would fix serious bugs, that can go through the freeze. > I haven't checked if the speech stopping after about 4 KB of text has > been fixed yet.

If you installed a debian speakup-source package then you just need to run m-a a-i speakup The instructions you quote above were for the case when you install by hand from a git clone and don't really have to do with debian except m-a prepare that installs the stuff that speakup needs to compile. > The problems are that it isn't obvious that the Speakup source is > installed under /usr/src/modules/speakup. That's debian policy, but as I said above, forget about it, just use m-a a-i speakup, which is documented in /usr/share/doc/speakup-source/README.Debian > Most packages I've compiled from source use a dash instead, such as > make modules-install.

The "make > modules_install" command put them in the extra directory but not in > extra/speakup. I had to manually copy them there.

Again, that's not a speakup issue, but a more general issue: if you install both a debian package and do installation by hand, you'll end up with two versions. Same for any debian package... > Now I have two sets of identical Speakup modules, one in the extra/ > directory and another in extra/speakup/. This should probably be > fixed. On your system, yes, because you have installed by hand. Not a debian issue actually. > Again, other than those small issues, all seems well Ok, cool, I will push that version to Debian. Samuel
