[Ramon Buldo]

I will report the second issue to arch. Do we need to upload new
packages temporarily while they fix this?

> My name is Attila Hammer, and using Linux releases with Orca Screen Reader.

> My first impressions with this release is very good.

> 1. The Liblouis component related package is unfortunatelly outdated

> If this compilation option is missing, when Orca users enabling

> user braille display only the first character presents the contracted

> Orca using Liblouis to generate contracted braille.
> Because I not founded a bug tracker for Manjaro (possible only I not

> I do changes only the PKGBUILD file, and my local Manjaro system

> Liblouis team publicating releases three month cicle, next release date

> 2. Temporary I switched with Manjaro unstable repository my system,

> This day happened a cython package update from the 0.22-1 version to the
> 0.22-2 version, and after this upgrade Orca unable to use the brlapi
> python binding.
>
> Simple testcase in Terminal:
> type python command, press ENTER key, and paste the import brlapi code.
> Expected result:
> You not see a traceback error message.
> Actual result:
> You will see a traceback error message, because when happening a cython
> package upgrade, need regenerating the brltty package too to the Brltty
> python bindings is recompiled with new cython version. Brltty compiling
> Python bindings with cython,.
> This issue will affecting Manjaro and Sonar Manjaro release users if
> happening the cython package upgrade without brltty package upgrade the
> stable branches.
>
> If need reporting this issues with Manjaro bug tracker (not matter if
> command line need do this if not have other possibility), please tell me
