[avahi] Is it possible to customize "#define AVAHI_DEFAULT_TTL_HOST_NAME" and "#define AVAHI_DEFAULT_TTL", rather than embedding them "statically" in the code?

[Ajay Garg]

Hi all.

I have written a patch, that solves the issue
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51501#c5

The patch is available at
http://people.sugarlabs.org/ajay/root/freedesktop_bug_51501/common-patch-for-f14-and-f17/customize-avahi-default-ttl-values.patch


Will be glad to have it considered, and have feedback/criticism/whatever.


Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
