Description Andrew Stevenson 2004-08-02 17:50:23 UTC 
This is a port of Apple's rendezvous. I did one of these a while back but by
the time a committer had a chance to look at it Apple had released a new
version and hidden the old. The man pages were written a while ago and may not
match the current versions perfectly but I don't have time to update them
now.

I'm suddenly getting a lot of email about my old port so I finally got around
to this port of the current version.

How does this differ from net/mDNSResponder?

Sorry I missed the addition. The only differences I can see apart from 
the version is that the existing port doesn't add the missing : after 
the P in the call to getopt in Responder.c (I may just report that to 
apple again as they seem to have been forgotten the last report) and it 
doesn't install any man pages (but the other man pages are for an older 
version of mDNSResponder anyway so this probably isn't tragic).

Shouldn't that port be in the dns category? I've been away for a while 
so perhaps I missed something.

Over to alfred, the mDNSResponder maintainer. Maybe he wants to pickup some of 
the changes.
