-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2018-2bc3059d1b 2018-04-18 00:36:18.839119 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : nss-mdns Product : Fedora EPEL 7 Version : 0.14.1 Release : 1.el7 URL : https://github.com/lathiat/nss-mdns Summary : glibc plugin for .local name resolution Description : nss-mdns is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing host name resolution via Multicast DNS (aka Zeroconf, aka Apple Rendezvous, aka Apple Bonjour), effectively allowing name resolution by common Unix/Linux programs in the ad-hoc mDNS domain .local.
nss-mdns provides client functionality only, which means that you have to run a mDNS responder daemon separately from nss-mdns if you want to register the local host name via mDNS (e.g. Avahi).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
nss-mdns is back after 10 years! * Moved to new GitHub location, docs migrated to markdown * The long-deprecated LEGACY mode is removed * The long-deprecated HONOUR_SEARCH_DOMAINS option is removed * Unit tests are now included, with make check * nss-mdns now implements standard heuristics for detecting .local unicast resolution and will automatically disable resolution when a local server responds to .local requests (**no need to manually disable anything anymore when the local network resolves with .local**) * _nss_mdns_gethostbyname3_r and _nss_mdns_gethostbyname4_r are now implemented * Full dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support is implemented See https://github.com/lathiat/nss- mdns/blob/master/NEWS.md -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References:
