local use flags (searching: mdnsresponder-compat) |

net-dns/avahi: Enable compat libraries for mDNSResponder |

That said, KDE3 is EOL'd, as is mdnsresponder. It's not likely KDE3 is |
28 |
going to get fixed to use avahi, and mdnsresponder-compat will |
29 |
probably eventually get removed. |

If you want to continue using KDE3 components, you may eventually be |
32 |
required to do without mdns support in KDE3. And, eventually, the KDE3 |
33 |
stuff will probably go away, too. |

BTW, I somewhat agree; the KDE3 version of Mahjongg is great. I've |
36 |
never tried the KDE4 version, though. I don't spend much time with |
37 |
KDE. |
