Description:   Opened: 2005-03-15 10:15 0000
If you install BRLTTY from the sources it will put brltty in /bin by default.
You will need to pass configure script the libdir so it will put the binaries
in /lib though. But this needs to be fixed so that it is possible to start
brltty as early in the boot process as possible. I prefer to start it from
inittab before any other system initialization is done. I have no monitor
hooked up to this box and so I need to have braille as early as possible to fix
potential problems. This hasn't caused data loss yet but it could potentially
if I can't read the fsck screens.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge brltty1.
Edit /etc/inittab or some other bootscript so you can start BRLTTY before the
file systems are checked.2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The brltty binary was in /usr/bin

Expected Results:  
Should be installed in /bin to cover the case where /usr is on its own
partition. The libraries should probably be move to /lib too

This tool is critical, and should be installed as reported says. If boot fails,
a blind person is helpless on the machine. Patching ebuild to pass --prefix=/
and --eprefix=/ should be enough.

Fixed in 3.6.1-r1; thanks!
