| Description: | Service discovery system (0.6.25-5) | |
Avahi is a system which facilitates service discovery on a local
network. This means that you can plug your laptop or computer into
a network and instantly be able to view other people who you can
chat with, find printers to print to or find files being shared.
This kind of technology is already found in Apple MacOS X (branded
Rendezvous, Bonjour and sometimes Zeroconf) and is very convenient.
Avahi is mainly based on Lennart Poettering's flexmdns mDNS
implementation for Linux which has been discontinued in favour of
Avahi.
Porchdog has discontinued the "howl" library and recommends Avahi as
its replacement. | ||
