Details:
Debian plans to drop the Apple Bonjour compatibility library (
libavahi-compat-libdnssd) at some point, since only 3 packages depend on it --
gnustep-base being one of them. Furthermore, it is poorly supported upstream;
as the Avahi documentation says:
"Please note that these compatibility layers are incomplete and generally a
waste of resources. We strongly encourage everyone to use our native APIs for
newly written programs and to port older programs to avahi-client!"
Is there a specific reason why NSNetServices uses dns_sd? I may be able to
work on this, but would like to know in advance more details. Is native avahi
support something desirable as a complete replacement of dns_sd, or it must be
conditionalized, keeping the old code? Or is it a no-op?
