speakup, 2.6.22, and the way forward

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, What I am saying is if speakup is not compatible with other kernels why 
when checking out speakup from cvs is there diff22 and diff24 support for 
the 2.2 and 2.4 kernels in speakup if they no longer work?  Will speakup 
even patch into the latest 2.2 or 2.4 kernels from the cvs system?  Why are 
they changing to another method I think cvs is a good method?
