# brltty --version
BRLTTY 6.8 rev BRLTTY-6.8-11-g5c386968+

My pacman script installs BRLTTY like this:

package() {
    cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"
    make INSTALL_ROOT="${pkgdir}" install
    install -vDm 644 "Documents/brltty.conf" -t "${pkgdir}/etc/"
    make -C "Autostart/Systemd/" INSTALL_ROOT="$pkgdir" install
    #make -C "Autostart/Udev/" INSTALL_ROOT="$pkgdir" install
    make INSTALL_ROOT="${pkgdir}" install-polkit
}

So udev install is skipped. I want to avoid udev to start BRLTTY and thus
don't install the rules.

It is the same (also brltty at .service is) as I build my BRLTTY from git.
