Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast DNS
specifications for Zeroconf Computing. It uses D-BUS for communication
between user applications and a system daemon. The daemon is used to
coordinate application efforts in caching replies, necessary to minimize the
traffic imposed on networks. This kind of technology is already found in
Apple MacOS X (branded Rendezvous Bonjour and sometimes Zeroconf) and is very
convenient.
You will need to have an "avahi" user and group on the target system
prior to installing the avahi package. See README.SBo in this
directory (it is also installed to the package docmentation directory)
for more information and for setup notes.
This requires libdaemon, mono is optional and also requires gtk-sharp.
enable it with the following: MONO=yes ./avahi.SlackBuild
