[manjaro-dev] important brltty update needed, I've already got the pkgbuild and such ready

[Bernhard Landauer]

Hi Kendell.

If you like I can edit your PKGBUILD tonight. Atm I do't have the 
computer on me ...
But you can just do it by adding this sed line at the end of package() 
function:

sed -i '/Auth=polkit/s/^#//' $pkgdir/etc/brltty.conf

kind regards
Bernhard
