I'm unable to find a tarball for this package in a public location. Find me one and I'll reconsider bumping that package :)

It ain't building out of the box.
rajiv: you may take care of this yourself, none of us care enough about this package to investigate weird build failures.

apple has said (on mailing lists) that they are not interested in supporting this tool on linux. basically they are pushing linux users to avahi.

i recommend that we move all our packages over to avahi and remove mDNSResponder from portage.
