Hi everyone, first of all, I'm not really an expert in this stuff, so feel free to tell me about any mis-assumptions...
As far as I can see, we have two global useflags: avahi - Add avahi/Zeroconf support zeroconf - Support for DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD) "Zeroconf" describes a service autodiscovery and autoconfiguration standard, see [1]. Avahi is the implementation of that standard which we have in the portage tree [2]. Other implementations are mDNSResponder (which was in the tree some time ago but got kicked out) and Apple's Bonjour (which never was in the tree and probably never will be). I would like to suggest unifying use-flag usage, and use "zeroconf" anywhere. Opinions?
