Hi,
It would be very much appreciated if brltty were provided with a script in /etc/rc.d.
It is intended to be a daemon and thus such a script makes sense to integrate with the rest of the Arch daemon and init system.
This task depends upon

Hi Roman,

sorry but I don't use this software, I only upgraded it to the new version.

@Zachary: since you appear to be the one using brltty - can you make a rc.d script and test it so it's known to work?
You can find the prototype here: http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=abs.git;a=blob_plain;f=prototypes/rc-script.proto;hb=HEAD

@Zachary: I have no time for that, but if you can make a rc.d script and if it works, I can add it.

Hi,
The script attached here seems to work. Note that I also created a /etc/brltty.conf file, not attached, to get this to work fully.
Best,
Zack.

I guess conf.d/brltty.conf sets $brltty_args. Please attach it too (with args that should be considered as default).
Comment by Zachary Kline (zkline) - Saturday, 18 July 2009, 21:04 GMT
Done.
I did everything in /etc/brltty.conf, which is customized for my own system.
I'd recommend other users of the package do it the same way. Incidentally, there's a sample brltty.conf file in the docs/ directory of the upstream source apparently.

Done!
Just pushed brltty-4.0-2 for i686 and x86_64.
Please, test it and let me know.

Hi,
This seems to work.
I don't have any actual display hardware to use with it yet.
The tty driver does what it's supposed to though.
There's an ugly warning message in the configuration stage about tclConfig.sh.
Do we want to have yet another dependency for the sake of a tcl binding, or do we want to disable that particular configuration option?
Leaving it on doesn't prevent building, it just looks ugly to my way of thinking.
Thoughts?
Best,
Zack.

I've built brltty-4.0-2 without tcl and ocaml deps.
If you think that I should build brltty with these deps, I can do it.
Let me know.
Comment by Zachary Kline (zkline) - Sunday, 19 July 2009, 19:01 GMT
I haven't personally got any use for either binding.
My vote is leave it without: anybody who wants them can rebuild it themselves easy enough.

OK, thanks Zack.
