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

[Bernhard Landauer]

Hi Kendell.
Yes, it would be good to add the files in our repo so we have them ready 
whenever we need them in the future :)
I can try building the 32bit here and see if I have more success...
What kernel version are you running?
kind regards
Bernhard
