kmod-staging in Fedora 23

Hi,
Thanks, that ansers my last question.
However, I forgot to mention, that speakup is stripped out of the Fedora
kernels and is contained in this package kmod-staging - that's why the
espeakup rpm package requires it.
Now I have to figure out if it's possible to compile that individual
kernel module (speakup) alone and install it under my current kernel.
Or  if I can extract it from an older rpm of kmod-staging - it probably
has not changed.
I'll write you if I have any progress.
Any other suggestions are also welcomed.

Best wishes,
Zahari
