speakup, 2.6.22, and the way forward

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, Is the gid tree program better then CVS or SVN and do you think that the 
v22 and v24 stuff will be removed from speakup at some point for the current 
release once it is ready for 2.6.22?  It would really save on download time 
for both dial up and broad band users.  As 2.6 is the latest kernel and 
works on older hardware as well leaving the support for 2.2 and 2.4 if it no 
longer patches in really makes no sence.  Where can I download the gid tree 
software client and server so I can have a look at it?  Which version 
control system is better cvs, svn, or gid tree?
