It uses D-BUS for +communication between user applications and a system daemon. The +daemon is used to coordinate application efforts in caching replies, +necessary to minimize the traffic imposed on networks. This kind of +technology is already found in Apple MacOS X (branded Rendezvous +Bonjour and sometimes Zeroconf) and is very convenient. + +Requires libdaemon, which is also available at SlackBuilds.org. + +You will need to have an "avahi" user and group on the target system +prior to installing the avahi package. See README.SBo in this +directory (it is also installed to the package docmentation directory) +for more information and for setup notes. |
