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!
