If even libavahi will not be acceptable, then yes, as such image can not support Zeroconf after adding packages (because image packages lack support of avahi). If libavahi* will be acceptable, then I would prefer fine tuning of avahi package splitting: Here is a complete list of sub-packages of a full-featured avahi build in openSUSE, that tends to introduce minimal extra dependencies: libraries: libavahi-common3 (lowest level library, needs only base libraries) libavahi-core6 (core library, needs only libavahi-common3) libavahi-client3 (client library, needs libavahi-core6 and dbus) libavahi-ui0 (ui library, needs gtk and libavahi-common3) libavahi-devel utilities: avahi (basic daemons, needs dbus) avahi-utils (utilities that don't require X) avahi-utils-gtk (utilities that require gtk) utilities that require python are just now part of binding packages bindings: libavahi-glib1 (glib) libavahi-glib-devel libavahi-gobject0 (gobject) libavahi-gobject-devel libavahi-qt3-1 (qt3) libavahi-qt3-devel libavahi-qt4-1 (qt4) libavahi-qt4-devel avahi-mono (mono) python-avahi (python code that don't require gtk) python-avahi-gtk (python code that require gtk) emulations: libdns_sd (mDNSResponder emulation) avahi-compat-mDNSResponder-devel libhowl0 (howl emulation) avahi-compat-howl-devel Note: It's not as clean as it looks. One glade file have to be moved to core, as it was required by avahi-utils-gtk and python-avahi-gtk. -- Stanislav Brabec http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel
