Re: Braille Blaster and linux

There is PKGBUILD for braille-blaster in the AUR, but not for the current version:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brailleblaster-bin
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/plain/PKGBUILD?h=brailleblaster-bin

Maybe you could request the maintainer to update it.

Cheers,
Didier
