Patch file for libnss-mdns_0.10

Pinging own .local address don't work:

root@e4hd:~# ping e4hd.local
ping: bad address 'e4hd.local'

Problem is that avahi creates in version 0.7 the socket in /run/avahi-daemon
https://github.com/lathiat/avahi/blob/master/configure.ac#L987

libnss-mdns searches the socket in the old path: /var/run/avahi-daemon/
src/Makefile.am and src/Makefile.in
       -DAVAHI_SOCKET=\"$(localstatedir)/run/avahi-daemon/socket\"

Attached patch patches libnss-mdns sources to new directory.

For master and sumo.
Comment 2 Ross Burton 2018-07-05 15:08:00 UTC 
Probably easier to just set localstatdir="/"?

Patches are submitted via the mailing list, if you could prepare a patch to the recipe and submit it to openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org (via git-send-email, please) then we can review and merge it.

Yes, localstatedir="/" is easier.
I have send the patch to the mailing list.
