Re: arch: emacspeak.git package

[Steve Holmes <steve@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't had any errors since my last build from git but the git
version can be a fast moving target too. That path to emacspeak-setup.el doesn't
sound right to me. /lisp doesn't exist on our systems. It should be
going to /usr/share/emacs/24.4/lisp...

Also, the current version of tcl on my system and what is required by
recent versions of emacspeak is 8.6.3. I'm not sure the complete range
of tcl versions that emacspeak will work with but then there are the
tclx issues and that has to be matched up properly. Too bad we can't
get away from tcl and related things; might make things easier to
manage.
