I guess I have to investigate a bit further here, then. I tried to reproduce it when it was reported and if my memory doesn't trick me was able to do so. Maybe my coding/debugging skills have enhanced in the meantime and I'm able to track down the issue... Thanks for your feedback on that, then. > At the moment, we always have to shout the IP address to everybody who > is joining, it would be nice if we could avoid that.

It would be disabled at compile-time in the package that gets shipped. I don't see the request to be in any relation to the additional dependencies it would pull in. It's nice that the package is used, but I'm not going to prepare a patch myself for something that I don't consider to be immensly useful. Digging into libavahi documentation for something that would explode the ressource usage of tetrinet-server is not really on my agenda. If you could provide a clear patch that would work in that direction I though might push it upstream and maybe add some hooks into the debian package so that a rebuild for it could be easy.
