Description of problem: Avahi has to be manually configured to advertise afp services Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A Actual results: Expected results: Add the following content to a new file: /etc/avahi/services/afp.service ---Begin Content--- <service-group> <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name> <service> <type>_afpovertcp._tcp</type> <port>548</port> </service> </service-group> ---End Content--- Additional info: I believe "service avahi-daemon restart" needs to be run to pick up the change.
The /etc/avahi/services directory is for user configuration of services to be advertised, as you have done. Not all FC machines provide AFP services - you need the optional netatalk package installed. So I don't think we should ship anything in /etc/avahi/services by default - it is up to users to choose which services they want to run and which they want to advertise using avahi. There is probably a need for a 'system-config-service-discovery' GUI that will provide an easy user interface for configuring and advertising services with avahi / ZeroConf - this is a project I am working on but goes far beyond the scope of this bug report.
That is why I opened this enhancement against the netatalk package, not the avahi package.
