15.0 > Network > avahi (0.8)

Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast
DNS specifications for Zeroconf Computing.  It uses D-BUS for
communication between user applications and a system daemon.  The
daemon is used to coordinate application efforts in caching replies,
necessary to minimize the traffic imposed on networks.  This kind
of technology is already found in Apple MacOS X (branded Rendezvous
Bonjour and sometimes Zeroconf) and is very convenient.

You will need to have an "avahi" user and group on the target
system prior to installing the avahi package.  See README.SBo in this
directory (it is also installed to the package docmentation directory)
for more information and for setup notes.

mono support is not working ATM so it's forcibly disabled.

This requires: libdaemon
