Hello All, I am interested in porting (or rather completing the work in progress) Avahi to OpenBSD.
Before I dig any further (until now I have just offered a patch to OpenBSD-ports to update libdaemon from 0.11 to 0.12), I would like to make myself known to this project here and seek consent to continue. I have switched from (SuSE) Linux to OpenBSD about half a year ago. Both are fine, but for my purposes (Homeserver for my family) today I prefer OpenBSD. I have been using Linux since 1994 and writing UNIX software for a living since the late 80's. From 1999 to 2001 I was actually employed with SuSE. Today I'm in IT Management of German Railways. What made me look into Avahi is that my son got his MacBook and I learned what Bonjour is. Of course that led me to Avahi. Very clean code base, a pleasure to read. I wondered why OpenBSD is not supported fully until now. Is it (a) lack of a maintainer? or (b) technical reasons? or (c) political reasons? If (a) - I'd like to offer my service. If (b) - same. If (c) - I'll keep my hands off. If you are interested in my contribution, please let me know, and I'll tell you what I have done so far to get it running, and I'd like to ask a few questions to help me understand and make it first-class platform (like the pthreads thing). Okay? Volker Wiegand _______________________________________________ avahi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/avahi
