If you USE=mdnsResponder-compat you are telling avahi that you *don't* |
9 |
want mDNSRespdonder. Consider the ebuild: |
10 |
|
11 |
mdnsresponder-compat? ( !net-misc/mDNSResponder ) |
12 |
|
13 |
So enabling the flag is results in explicit blockage. |
14 |
|
15 |
But, I'm assuming, the flag provides avahi with |
16 |
mdnsresponder-compat(ibility) so you shouldn't need both installed at |
17 |
the same time. |

Also, from the USE description: |
20 |
|
21 |
mdnsresponder-compat : Enable compat libraries for mDNSResponder |
22 |
|
23 |
So it looks like having them both installed simultaneously would result |
24 |
in both providing the same service. |
