Subject: [gentoo-dev] Global useflags zeroconf and avahi
Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2013 23:58:56 +0200 [thread overview]

Hi everyone,
first of all, I'm not really an expert in this stuff, so feel free to tell me
about any mis-assumptions...
As far as I can see, we have two global useflags:
avahi - Add avahi/Zeroconf support
zeroconf - Support for DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD)
"Zeroconf" describes a service autodiscovery and autoconfiguration standard,
see [1]. Avahi is the implementation of that standard which we have in the
portage tree [2]. Other implementations are mDNSResponder (which was in the
tree some time ago but got kicked out) and Apple's Bonjour (which never was in
the tree and probably never will be).
I would like to suggest unifying use-flag usage, and use "zeroconf" anywhere.
Opinions?
Cheers,
Andreas
