[BRLTTY] [patch] fix the api socket directory

Hi all, I am the primary maintainer of brltty on gentoo, and we have a patch that I would like to submit for consideration. In configure.ac, api_socket_path is set so that when the directory is created it is /var/lib/lib/brltty. We change this to /var/lib/brltty in the first part of the patch.

[BRLTTY] brltty and libusb-compat

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi again All, gentoo is starting to migrate to libusb-1.0 using the libusb-compat wrapper. The README for libusb-compat says that it will work with most applications, but there are some things that were done with the older libusb which will not work
