Is this impossible to pull off?
If you USE=mdnsResponder-compat you are telling avahi that you *don't* want mDNSRespdonder. Consider the ebuild: mdnsresponder-compat? ( !net-misc/mDNSResponder ) So enabling the flag is results in explicit blockage. But, I'm assuming, the flag provides avahi with mdnsresponder-compat(ibility) so you shouldn't need both installed at the same time. Also, from the USE description: mdnsresponder-compat : Enable compat libraries for mDNSResponder So it looks like having them both installed simultaneously would result in both providing the same service. HTH, -a
