Hello, on a desktop Debian, Ubuntu, Linux systems avahi daemon is used as a central place to publish and subscribe to zeroconf / bonjour services. Apps connect to the daemon using avahi-client library. I am the maintainer of QtZeroConf, a cross platform wrapper of zeroconf libraries. One of my users makes an app for Ubuntu Phone. Currently he is using something called avahi-core which is meant to be used on embedded system with a single application when avahi-daemon is not present. Ideally there should not be multiple applications listening for mdns traffic on the device. Would Ubuntu Phone be willing to add avahi-daemon? Or should his app make avahi-daemon an installation dependency?
