Package: libapache2-mod-dnssd
Version: 0.5-1
mod_dnssd fails to announce properly when used in the following manner.
Using the following example configuration:
<Directory /home/Music>
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /Music "/home/Music"
<Location /Music>
DAV On
DNSSDServiceName "Shared Music"
DNSSDServiceTypes _webdav._tcp _http._tcp
</Location>
The configuration works when put in the <VirtualHost> tags in
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default and the DAV can be seen from
Nautilus in the Network browser.
If the configuration is put into a separate site file (e.g.
/etc/apache2/sites-available/music) and enabled, the DAV is not
visible from Nautilus, though it can be connected to manually. The DAV
appears to be working but there is no announcement. The behavior is
the same whether the
DNSSDEnable On
DNSSDAutoRegisterVHosts On
arguments are in the default file or the site file.
If the configuration is placed inside another <VirtualHost> on a
different port, though, the share is reported. It doesn't matter
whether the VirtualHost is configured correctly or not.

p.s. I copied and pasted the form from your bug reporting page, but
the bug report was still returned as being formatted improperly. I'm
going to guess that it was because of stray spaces in the website when
I cut/pasted. I originally tried to use reportbug, but it wanted an
SMTP server. Debian needs an easier bug-reporting system.

Changes:
mod-dnssd (0.6-7) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* d/patches: add mainserver-location-services.patch so a DNSSDServiceName
in a <Location> at main-server scope (outside any <VirtualHost>) is
registered, matching the behaviour inside a <VirtualHost> (Closes:
#496898). assemble_services() only descended into <Location> blocks
nested in a <VirtualHost>; a global <Location> is a top-level ap_conftree
node and was never inspected, so its service was silently never
announced. Verified on Apache 2.4 + Avahi.
