Bug 171305 – media-sound/slimserver should not depend strictly on mDNSResponder

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Shawn Rutledge 2007-03-18 04:33:27 UTC]

I prefer (so far) to use avahi - it has more features.  Eventually I think slimserver must be configurable somehow, to use either one.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
emerge slimserver

Actual Results:  
installs mDNSResponder after I have unblocked it...

Expected Results:  
USE flags, or some kind of conf file, should control whether to use avahi or mDNSResponder (or possibly other choices) as the service-announcement daemon

So, does it work for you with the following ebuild patch and avahi compiled w/ USE=mdnsresponder-compat? If not, sorry but you'll need to take this upstream.

[Comment 2 Travis Shirk 2007-06-22 02:20:10 UTC]

This will require an upstream change since, IIRC, slimserver invokes mdnsresponder command line programs.
