Comments on: Zeroconf Branch Sharing with Bazaar http://blogs.gnome.org/jamesh/2008/02/19/bzr-avahi/ Random stuff Mon, 12 May 2008 12:35:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Stuart Metcalfe http://blogs.gnome.org/jamesh/2008/02/19/bzr-avahi/#comment-614 Stuart Metcalfe Tue, 19 Feb 2008 13:17:55 +0000 http://blogs.gnome.org/jamesh/2008/02/19/bzr-avahi/#comment-614 This is an great use of Zeroconf - well done! It's worth noting that Apple's mDNS responder has both Mac OSX and Windows versions which share a common API. This is an great use of Zeroconf - well done!

I'll try to make something similar for git. Awesome idea! I’ll try to make something similar for git.

As there is no standard mDNS API for Python, I programmed to the API of the responder I could test things on. I am sure that the ideas from my plugin could be used to write a similar plugin for Apple's Bonjour client library, but I am not sure how much code it would share (bzr-avahi is almost entirely glue code).

Just tested it. That's really awesome. Great job here! This should be included by default in bazaar. Woa! Just tested it. That’s really awesome. Great job here!

The only downside is that Avahi is Linux only and a cross platform solution would be even better!
