Subject: [gentoo-dev] RFC: brltty not starting early enough

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,
