[Bug 1102906] Re: Cannot broadcast both on global and link address on same interface

[Steve Dodd]

Would it be possible to add a flag to AvahiPublishFlags to allow the
application to request the required behaviour on a per-service basis? I
can't see any options for Pidgin that don't require pretty radical
restructuring of its codebase (more discussion at

Title:
  Cannot broadcast both on global and link address on same interface

Status in Avahi:
  Unknown
Status in avahi package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Avahi seems to be hardwired to not over any link-local addresses on an
  interface, if there also exists a global (non-link-local) address on
  the same interface. Unfortunately I have need for this feature.

  I patched the source accordingly myself, creating a new config option
  'publish-local-always' to enable that behavior. It's actually I
  minimal change, and I would be pleased, if you could integrate it (or
  something similar). You can find my patch in the attachment below.
