script to make patched ubuntu kernel

script to make patched ubuntu kernel

[John G Heim]

I've written a bash script to make it easier to create a ubuntukernel 
patched for serial hardware synths. Instructions for downloading and 
using the script are at http://www.iavit.org/~john/ubuntu/.

The script itself is at 
http://www.iavit.org/~john/ubuntu/make-speakup-kernel.

All you need to do is to download the script and run it. The script 
installs the ubuntu kernel source package, comments out the line of code 
that keeps hardware synths from working, and compiles the kernel.

Since Ubuntu has a speakup-source package wouldn't it be easier to make this 
script patch that rather than recompiling the whole kernel? This way 
module-assistant could be used to install the speakup modules and then the 
patch would stay in place accross kernel upgrades.
To take this a step further, it might be a good idea to have a script that 
could bring the speakup sources up to the latest version and compile that.
I'm currently having this problem myself, the speakup modules that come with 
ubuntu have some major problems but I'm not sure what sources they're using 
or what is the latest speakup source. Is it the one in the kernel tree or 
the one from the git repository? The problem is made worse by the speakup 
version number not being updated and no change log seeming to be available.
