fedora 22 and Speakup

[Janina Sajka]

Hi,

The problem is that not every kernel build in Fedora is providing Speakup modules.


At the moment, I'm running Fedora 22 except for the fact that I'm still
on a Fedora 21 provided kernel just for this reason.

If you do go back to Fedora 21 for a Speakup capable kernel, be sure you
get:

kmod-staging-3.19.7-200.fc21.x86_64-3.19.2-2.fc21.5.x86_64

That's where the Speakup modules live. On 22, as far as I can tell, this
is now:

staging-kmod-addons-4.0.4-1.fc22.noarch

Unfortunately, this latest package doesn't actually seem to have the
Speakup modules for some reason.

Because of the above, I always do my updates via a command like:

dnf --exclude=kernel* update

Then, I separately update kernel and staging.
