  Description     : guile bindings for avahi

 This package provides bindings for Avahi. It allows programmers to
 use functionalities of the Avahi client library from Guile Scheme
 programs. Avahi itself is an implementation of multicast DNS (mDNS) and DNS
 Service Discovery (DNS-SD).

guile-avahi is a build-dependency for guix, although it can
technically be built without it and does not use avahi by default, if
enabled at runtime, it errors out in non-obvious ways:

  https://bugs.debian.org/1038916

Draft packaging available:

  https://salsa.debian.org/vagrant/guile-avahi

Currently, guix and related guile packages are primarily maintained by
me alone, but would welcome help!

live well,
  vagrant
