Bonjour compatability layer - kDNSServiceFlagsShareConnection not implemented, affects CUPS

Reported by: allsymes Owned by: lennart
Milestone: Component: avahi-compat-libdns_sd
Keywords: Cc: pipping@…, sense@…

Description

As per this upstream CUPS bug http://www.cups.org/str.php?L267 kDNSServiceFlagsShareConnection is now used throughout CUPS's DNS-SD feature set (CUPS 1.4). This is not implemented in dns_sd.h, so Avahi support is not able to be added to CUPS. This needs to be implemented so that CUPS can be made to support Avahi, which is on the roadmap for CUPS 1.5 (http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3066).

Apple mDNSResponder dns_sd.h is here (are we allowed to copy stuff from it?): http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/mDNSResponder/trunk/mDNSShared/dns_sd.h
