[Bug 786813] Re: Enable avahi support in samba

[Clint Byrum]

Hi jwm. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't see why not.. marking
Confirmed/Wishlist. This should probably be forwarded to Debian as well.

Title:
  Enable avahi support in samba

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: samba

  The debian developers disabled avahi support back in 2009:

  * ./configure --disable-avahi, to avoid accidentally picking up an avahi
      dependency when libavahi-common-dev is installed.

  As ubuntu typically installs avahi by default, can this be switched
  back on to provide a browsing alternative to netbios?
