在搞Gentoo的时候,安装Gnome2.16.1,发现portage 中net-dns/avahi这个软件,试图看看到底是个什么东东!
官方作如下介绍:(http://avahi.org)
Avahi会在本地网络搜寻可应用的服务。类似的技术可以参考 MacOS X中的zeroconf.其依赖于D-bus(freeDesktop)在系统守护进程和用户应用程序之间的通信。是从多播DNS获得的灵感。
Avahi is a system which facilitates service discovery on a local
network. This means that you can plug your laptop or computer into a
network and instantly be able to view other people who you can chat
with, find printers to print to or find files being shared. This kind
of technology is already found in Apple MacOS X (branded Rendezvous,
Bonjour
and sometimes Zeroconf)
and is very convenient. Avahi is mainly based on Lennart Poettering's
flexmdns mDNS implementation for Linux which has been discontinued in
favour of Avahi.
Avahi is an Implementation the
DNS Service Discovery
and
Multicast DNS
specifications for
Zeroconf
Computing. It uses
D-Bus
for communication between user applications and a system daemon. The
daemon is used to coordinate application efforts in caching replies,
necessary to minimize the traffic imposed on networks.
具体的技术细节讨论已经超出我的能力范围,但是当我们用Gnome方便的在局域网内互访时, 不要忘了这么一个重要的程序,其目前在linux的应用中包含下列发行版本:
当然此次的收获是发现了python的一个项目组,这对于我学习python的信念更深一步。地址是:

能看到powered by python的标志,是一种心里的愉悦!
