Bug 114212 – net-dns/avahi: the init.d should need dbus if +dbus is used

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-12-01 16:18:06 UTC]

When building avahi with +dbus, it needs dbus to be started before 
avahi-daemon, or it  
fails.  
The init script should then change the dependency according to the useflag to  
work out of the box.  
  
(for a similar magic, look at mt-daapd init script, that does that for howl  
or avahi-daemon when built with +howl useflag) 
 
HTH, 
Diego

I have good contact to upstream, it'll be patched in their source.

compnerd has been working on avahi in Gentopia for some time. Also I've looked over the ebuild in the Portage tree and have made some changes to it.

IMHO, the dbus USE-flag was pointless cause avahi is useless without avahi. But there are a lot of other fixes in the Gentopia ebuild over the Portage ebuild.

The dbus USE flag is not pointless, if you just want avahi to advertise the host
and/or some legacy services.

Fixed now I think.

[Comment 5 Sven Wegener 2006-01-10 05:05:42 UTC]

I'm waiting for upstream to integrate my patch, just a better solution for the workaround I added to the ebuild. For the meantime it's ok.
