Speaking of updates to cVS, I'm no longer getting any update
announcements when changes are posted to CVS.  Is that list broken
again? This Speakup/kernel version compatibility stuff is going to have
to be documented carefully and clearly.  the tar ball came out not more
than 3 months or so ago and now it is no longer compatible with the
latest kernel if I understand things correctly.  How easy would it be to
recreate the tar ball with the latest version to try and keep
reasonablly current with a current production kernel?  I have on some
occasions, patched a "working version of Speakup inside a given kernel
source and tar that back up for personal recovery purposes but I'm
trying to think of someone new to Speakup who wants to get started and
would hope he wouldn't have to do CVS and hopt to God it matches the
kernel he is using.

I would really like to know the procedure of how to take a CVS snap shot
of Speakup and convert it into a tarball that will still compile and
work.
