Hello

Looks like our net-misc/mDNSResponder packages are orphan and
unmaintained for a looong time, they also have some opened bugs (with
hangs, build problems...) and looks like avahi with mdns compat can
replace it.

OK with masking it for removal? If not, is anyone willing to maintain
it?

OK to start dropping it from dependencies and mask it for removal?

Since there was no response to the original e-mail... I second this.

+1 to remove the mess.

I just noticed this:

kde-base/kdelibs-4.8.0-r1 (!bindist ? net-misc/mDNSResponder)
kde-base/krdc-4.8.0 (zeroconf ? net-misc/mDNSResponder)
media-libs/libgphoto2-2.4.11-r1 (zeroconf ? net-misc/mDNSResponder)
net-misc/ntp-4.2.6_p4 (zeroconf ? net-misc/mDNSResponder)


I'm assuming this is not going to break something.

Then, bindist could be dropped from there as it's only there to allow
mDNSResponder usage over avahi.

> kde-base/krdc-4.8.0 (zeroconf ? net-misc/mDNSResponder)

It depends on:
        zeroconf? (
                || (
                        net-dns/avahi
                        net-misc/mDNSResponder
                )
        )

I guess will be safer to drop mDNSResponder deps with a revbump to force
people to rebuild them against avahi instead of mDNSResponder, no?
