Description poletti.marco 2012-10-31 10:58:57 UTC

Disclaimer: this bug has been filed in a semi-automated manner.

When emerging the package net-dns/avahi-0.6.30-r3, the following elog messages are displayed:

 * To use avahi-autoipd to configure your interfaces with IPv4LL (RFC3927)
 * addresses, just set config_<interface>=( autoipd ) in /etc/conf.d/net!
 * If this is your first install of avahi please reload your dbus config
 * with /etc/init.d/dbus reload before starting avahi-daemon!

Such messages should only be displayed when the package is a new install.
These situations can be checked in the ebuild as follows:

if ! has_version 'net-dns/avahi'; then

See the tracker bug 440214 for more details.

The second part of the message is probably irrelevant since dbus has been watching its services directories for a while and reload itself in case there is a change in it afaik.

Hi Gilles are you sure about this?  I tried and I'm not sure dbus reloaded.  Is there some way I can convince myself and I'll drop that second message from the elog.

It uses inotify so yeah, the second part of that message can be dropped.
