Hi,
this is a shameless self-promotion :) I have posted about the Terrible
mDNS responder on Mastodon before, but not on this list, and I have
been making minor changes to it recently, so I thought I might as well announce it here, perhaps it could be useful to someone.
Debian GNU/Hurd comes with Avahi in the default install (I believe).
Avahi has never worked for me (on the Hurd), and I doubt it has ever
worked for anyone else either. I *have* looked into the why (as in
spent hours debugging and patching it); I don't remember the
specifics, but I do remember that I concluded it won't be easy to make
it work. So, a dead end.
P.S. Something like this should get you up & running:
$ git clone git@github.com:bugaevc/terrible-mdns-responder.git
$ cd terrible-mdns-responder
$ meson setup build
$ ninja -C build
$ sudo ninja install -C build
$ sudo update-rc.d terrible-mdns-responder defaults
$ sudo update-rc.d avahi-daemon disable
$ sudo service terrible-mdns-responder start
Hmmm... How do you run the Hurd? Do you run linux on bare metal and
then Hurd on qemu?
When you are typing "herd.local" what does that
mean?
I suppose that means on your linux machine you are typing "ssh
hurd.local"?
May I help you create your email into some kind of manual page/wiki article/blog post?
May I help you create your email into some kind of manual page/wiki

Maybe?
But first, seeing that you're interested -- have you managed to build
/ install / use the Terrible mDNS responder? Does it work for you?
