a) I am the maintainer of Avahi. Since I only have access to Linux machines, Linux is the only platform that is relevant for releases. This means that I test my changes before releasing Avahi only on Linux, and that it doesn't matter for me if Avahi compiles on xBSD or not. However, I am happy to give the BSD people a week's time or so before I release Avahi so that they can make sure that Avahi works fine for them, too. Lurk on #avahi and I will ping you. xBSD support came originally from sebest, and some stuff from Marcus Clarke (?), very recently zml posted a bunch of very good patches for FreeBSD support. I will will merge those before 0.6.22. If you want to hack on porting this to OpenBSD, make sure to apply them first: http://avahi.org/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&milestone=Avahi+0.6.22 I am happy to merge any portability patch that looks sane to and which doesn't break the build on Linux.
