Package: squid-deb-proxy-client
Version: 0.8.14
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I'm trying to setup static dns-sd entries for my apt cache (I don't
want to run avahi/mDNS on my proxy server). This involves creating
_apt_proxy._tcp entries on a domain other than .local[1]. For reasons
that are not clear to me, avahi does not automatically merge browsing
domains, and leaves this up to the application[2].
Iiuc, squid-deb-proxy-client should iterate over the domains returned
by `avahi-browse -D` (and .local), doing something like (pseudo-code):
for dom in local $(avahi-browse -D); do
if avahi-browse -d $dom _apt_proxy._tcp; then
break
fi
done

Thanks,
