I have some packages available but need to update Speech-Dispatcher to
version 0.66 plus I want to reconfigure speechd-up and espeak is up to
1.31 now.  I used to use checkinstall but it started screwing up my
production environment by miss placing things and copying files it
didn't need to so I pretty much roll my own SlackBuild script so the
initial package creation is a lot of work but once that is done,
subsequent software updates aren't much trouble.

It will probably be next week some time before I have speech
dispatcher and espeakup current but I could probably give you my
version of speechd-up since that hasn't changed in a long time.  I
think there was a minor change to speech-dispatcher 0.66 to correct a
problem with the python library module install target.

Anyway, if you want to work out any private arrangements, go ahead and
write me privately and we can work out whatever.  When I get those
things pollished up, I'll post them to my web site.
