GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 152245
Add a "Rendez-Vous" bookmark submenu
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Using the Howl API, it would be easy (for someone who understands the sources) to add a toolbar submenu that would show the list of "_http._tcp" services discoverable on the local network.
This one: http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/ ? It's licensed under a BSD-like license, but "Portions of Howl are covered under the Apple Public Source License (APSL)"; and APSL is GPL-incompatible [http://www.fsf.org/licenses/license-list.html]. So we cannot use it. Oh, and is this the same thing bug 144969 asks for?
Yes, it's a dup. Howl, as shipped by Red Hat, is GPL-compatible. You just need to make sure to remove the APSL-licensed bits. See this page for details: http://lists.porchdogsoft.com/pipermail/howl-users/2004-June/000220.html Adding Alex to the CC: to explain the licensing issues. Another possibility is using gmdns, which seems to fill the bill in that particular case (might need addition of a resolver part though). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 144969 ***
