Sure, multicast dns - or zeroconf in general - isn't something that makes things work. It's something that makes things work without configuration. The whole idea of zeroconf is that "normal people" can just plug in their machines, and have more or less everything work, including networking, automatic discovery of file shares etc.
Laudable goal.
For example, if I block or disable avahi, my PS3 system doesn't find my file share where I store movies for it
However, you should be able to find it manually, correct? I don't have a PS3, so I don't know how they work.
But I agree that even banshee/mono shouldn't have a hard dependency on it
So how does things like that happen, and what can be done to fix it? Maybe we should have a wiki for unneccessary dependencies. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
