Thanks Zahari, I think this is just what I needed.

I will need some time to try it out, but will send you feedback as soon 
as I do.


Best,

Fernando

Hi,
I don't know about your other questions, but about the speakup installation:
I wrote a small script a while ago  to assist me in speakup installation for 
the current kernel under Fedora.
It uses a generic kernel for the compilation, compiles only speakup and copies 
it into the current kernel's module directory.
https://github.com/zahyur/speakup-installer

It has also a 'prepare' option - for installing dependancies.
I've tried to adapt it for apt-get, dnf and pacman based distributions, but 
actually tested it only under Fedora.

I posted it to the speakup mailing list, but no one responded so far.
I'll be glad to hear your opinion.

Best wishes,
Zahari

Speakup and backups

2016-09-16 Thread Fernando Botelho 

Hi everyone,

I must be getting old, because I have become backup-obssessed.

In addition to a backup of my home folder, I would like to use the ARCH 
pacman off-line alternate process, where one keeps a list of packages 
and the actual packages on disk, just in case Internet access is not 
available or is too slow.


In that context, do Kernel changes like Speakup appear in the list of 
installed packages?  I imagine not, is this correct?


Also, what is the best source of instructions on how to install Speakup?

Thanks,

Fernando
