Hi.
Just wondering if xsel has been ported to maemo 5?
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7144

I would like to pipe xsel to espeak as i do on my laptop

-- EDIT --
There's no dependancies, its not optimised nor stripped.
Download file
tar -xzf xsel.tar.gz
sudo cp xsel /bin/
sudo chmod 731 /bin/xsel

You can use this like, copy some text to clipboard buffer:
xsel -b | espeak

This will speak the buffer.

You can add keyboard short cuts following this:

I have ctlr left
killall espeak; xsel -b | espeak
ctlr right
killall espeak;

I'm having an issue with espeak (it stops after 5mins)
The attached file is a debug exe of espeak.
