Sure, happy to share and contribute! My brltty.spec which successfully built
the RPMs is attached. Hope it helps.

Recommendations aren't commands. :-) Of course we're interested.

>I'm happy to send along an updated spec file if you like.

Yes, please do.

Mind

I know exactly the problem you're having, and the development code (soon to 
become 5.5) deals with it. When systemd took over udev they made an
unfortunate 
change. They no longer allow an executable started by a udev rule to run for

more than five seconds, at which point they very unceremoniously kill it.
Their 
idea is that real programs should always be under systemd control, and that
any 
executalbes invoked by udev diretly are only meant to be helpers that
shouldn't 
run for a long period of time.

That's simply not possible.

Mine does have one serial port, but it also has a PCI card that provides two

more.
