[avahi] Avahi reports IPv6 address as AVAHI_PROTO_INET

[Stefan Radomski]

Hey J. R.,

thank you for confirming some of my suspicions. I am, however, somewhat surprised to see the ML of a rather ubiquitous piece of software along with its website in this state. It's no problem though, we already embed a mDNS responder via cross-compiled bonjour for every other platform but linux and will just extend the approach to include linux.

Best regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

As far as I can tell - this avahi list is dead.  I am not sure where else to look.  Im having DBUS issues myself and I haven't gotten anyones response.

I am also having problems with the avahi website (and can't look at their documentation/wiki).  I feel your pain.

Is anyone still listening to this list?  Perhaps one of the maintainers (at least of the website)??

Hi there,

Avahi sporadically returns IPv6 addresses as AVAHI_PROTO_INET in the AvahiServiceBrowserCallback instead of AVAHI_PROTO_INET6. Thus, reporting an ipv6 address as an ipv4 address. We observed this behavior both in Debian Testing and Fedora 17. It is very hard to reproduce but enough to make avahi unusable for us as the actual ipv4 address will never be reported.

We are still trying to isolate the issue, but I was hoping someone might have some pointers.

Best regards

P.S.: I am trying to have a look in the source code, but http://www.avahi.org<http://www.avahi.org/> is down?
