AVAHI news on http://avahi.org/ 2015-10-10: We have a release candidate, 0.6.32-rc! This is mostly a bugfix release, see the Change Log. This is intended for release soon, please file any issues you notice through Changelog: Avahi 0.6.32-rc =============== This is largely a bugfix release, non-bug changes are listed separately. * Don't log warnings about invalid packets, commonly triggered by Windows 10 systems * Fix issue with bad packet size estimation, causing probes to continuously be sent when hosting large numbers of services (Lee, Chun-Yi) * Fix build on Solaris/SmartOS (filio.h issue) * Fix build on FreeBSD (PCAP_D_IN issue) * Fix debug output with libdaemon >= 0.14 * avahi_server_set_browse_domains now correctly uses the provided list, instead of re-using the list from the configuration file * Set nl_pid to 0, this will automatically assign the value and prevent conflicts per netlink(7). (Bug #334) * Check for netlink pid=0 (kernel) instead of uid=0, which works correctly with network & user namespaces. * Fix reversed IFA_LOCAL and IFA_ADDRESS checks. (Avahi#355) * Don't fail the build on deprecated GTK/GLIB usage * Gracefully fail if SO_REUSEPORT is not available * Minor Python 3 update for the python ServiceTypeDatabase test usage of print, should be backwards compatible Changes * GTK3 deprecation fixes including vbox, g_object_unref on GdkCursor, stock items, composite API * New feature: host-name-from-machine-id= to configure the hostname from the machine-id, defaults to off. * Configuration change: Enable IPv6 by default (use-ipv6=yes) * Configuration change: Disable publishing HINFO and WORKSTATION records in the default config (publish-hinfo=no, publish-workstation=no) * Configuration change: Don't browse 0pointer.de and zeroconf.org wide-area by default (browse-domain=) This release is backwards compatible with Avahi 0.6.x with x < 32. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to avahi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1342400 Title: avahi-daemon constantly reporting "Invalid response packet from host" Status in avahi package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After installing Ubuntu 14.04 (Release: 14.04) and looking for other information in /var/log/syslog, I see that syslog is being flooded by "Invalid response packet from host" messages from avahi-daemon. I searched around to see why this might be and ran across the following avahi mailing list post along with a patch to fix it: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2012-July/002171.html >>> I would say you can safely ignore it, since any machine on your network running a recent OSX version will cause these messages. Here's a patch with what we change to avoid these messages flooding syslog. -Justin <<< The patch which fixes this is here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/attachments/20120719/1e71846e/attachment.obj To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/1342400/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
