Description : guile bindings for avahi
This package provides bindings for Avahi. It allows programmers to
use functionalities of the Avahi client library from Guile Scheme
programs. Avahi itself is an implementation of multicast DNS (mDNS) and DNS
Service Discovery (DNS-SD).
guile-avahi is a build-dependency for guix, although it can
technically be built without it and does not use avahi by default, if
enabled at runtime, it errors out in non-obvious ways:

Draft packaging available:

Currently, guix and related guile packages are primarily maintained by
me alone, but would welcome help!
live well,
vagrant
