I still have issues starting the Avahi daemon(s) if not only because the 
require write access to /run but also complain about an already running mDNS 
daemon (presumably the system one). This has nothing to do with distcc, but it 
seems avahi should act as a bridge to Apple's ZeroConf implementation, on Mac.

Apparently, you were one of the last who worked on distcc [1]. But the
proposed changes were never submitted in a way that allowed to apply
them to the ports tree.

The distcc project has also moved to GitHub in the mean time and there
is a new release [2].

port:distcc status?

[René J . V . Bertin]

Hi,

As you may know clang is inherently a cross-compiler that can be told to 
generate code for any of the platforms it was built to support. I used this in 
the past to speed up my builds on Linux, using distcc to let my much faster Mac 
do the heavy lifting. That was on 10.6 though, apparently distcc is no longer 
included with Xcode.

What's status of the distcc port? I see it hasn't been maintained for about 5 
years. Anyone using it on 10.9 or later?

Thanks,
R.
