All,

brltty is one of our accessibility packages.  It is a program that
drives a braille display which is one way a blind person can access the
computer.

The project's guidelines for linux distributions at \
http://www.mielke.cc/brltty/guidelines.html suggest starting the program very early \
in the boot sequence.  Ideally, I would like to be able to start brltty as soon as \
/dev is set up either with udev, devfs, or static.

There is a new version of brltty which hasn't been put into portage yet,
so I thought now would be a good time to ask about it.  How should we
set this up on gentoo?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
