Is it time to remove misc/brltty (and misc/screen-shm)?
I'm not taking this lightly. If you need a braille display, you
really need it. But the brltty port hasn't been updated in over
twenty years, despite an active upstream. Everytime something
broke, we fixed it, added a workaround, even kept a separate port
with an obsolete version of screen around. Below is another set
of fixes to actual bugs that have kept LLVM 22 from compiling it.
I have brltty 6.9.1 building here. Turning it into a proper port
will take quite a bit of more work, though and it'll be a few weeks
until I can dedicate the time to that.
However I would very much like to not give up on the port yet.
