Hey all,
A few ebuilds treat things differently with regard to this situation and
it really needs to get rectified.
net-misc/ntp
zeroconf? ( || ( net-dns/avahi net-misc/mDNSResponder ) )
net-print/cups
zeroconf? ( !avahi? ( net-misc/mDNSResponder ) )
avahi? ( net-dns/avahi )
kde-base/kdelibs
!avahi? ( !bindist? ( net-misc/mDNSResponder !kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi ) )
avahi? ( kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi )
To name a few... the above will cause blockers for people depending on
their merge order if they have the following in their USE flags.
USE="zeroconf -avahi"
Maybe we should clean the whole thing up and do like net-misc/ntp does
it. Thoughts?

since I'm lazy:
18:28 < EvaSDK> Cardoe: about zeroconf/avahi thing, avahi shouldn't have
ever existed indeed
18:28 < EvaSDK> the thing is that some apps could use both avahi and
howl but had different ways to enable them so one
thought it would be smart to create avahi use flag,
and it spread all over the tree while zeroconf was the
right one to use
18:29 < Cardoe> EvaSDK: comment on the ML threads
in fact some even had the mdnsresponder/howl/avahi USE flags at the same
time iirc. A cleanup would indeed be a good idea imho.

There is also a bonjour use flag which should be considered.
pidgin-2.5.2.ebuild: bonjour? ( net-dns/avahi )
bonjour use flag pulls in net-dns/avahi
squeezecenter-7.2.1.ebuild: bonjour? ( net-misc/mDNSResponder )
bonjour use flag pulls in net-misc/mDNSResponder
vlc-0.9.5.ebuild: $(use_enable avahi bonjour)
avahi use flag enables bonjour support in vlc. Maybe the avahi flag
should be replaced with zeroconf here too.
Regards,
Daniel

bonjour is Apple specific branding for zeroconf. This is another case
that needs to be changed.
zeroconf/avahi/howl/bonjour/mdnsresponder all need to be condensed.

I agree. Let's just have zeroconf.

+1, zeroconf is what it should be called, regardless of different
implementations (especially if they are compatible).

I just came up with this as nobody mentioned it before :-)

++ one flag for all implementations.

Hello
I would know what finally occurred with:
http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org/msg31489.html
Seems that last comment was:
http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org/msg31502.html
and, after that, activity stopped
Is there any problem for having this "USE cleanup" done?
Thanks a lot for the information :-)
