On the LAN, many services can be discovered in a convenient manner via mDNS/Zeroconf/Bonjour/Avahi/Thisconceptsnameoftheweek, and despite its age,FTP is no exception. The attached ebuild provides a USE-flag for net-ftp/ftpbase to hook into avahi-daemon, broadcasting the ftpd's presence on the network in turn. A default .service-file for avahi-daemon to register the ftp server is also attached. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: not applicable Actual Results: not applicable Expected Results: not applicable An eclass handling the management of .service-files for /etc/avahi/services/ would probably make sense. Avahi rocks.
Created attachment 184491 [details] .service-file for avahi to broadcast the system's ftpd.
Created attachment 184493 [details] Suggested ebuild for net-ftp/ftpbase to add avahi support.
A diff showing the changes you did to the ebuild would be very handy :) Reassigning to maintainer-needed.
Created attachment 184500 [details] Unified diff between detailing changes made for acahi support.
Here you are... it's my first time actually submitting a modified ebuild; hopes are high you can use it. If not, please be gentle ;)
