@john.smith, done. Although the final product is as you suggested, there are weird details on why it is necessary. See the commit message: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=pkgdistcache&id=98d647cb6a11

In the file "pkgdistcached.service" should be written in the Unit Section "Requires=avahi-daemon.service" and "After=avahi-daemon.service", it prevents that the pkgdistcached service not logged on to avahi. here is my version https://ghostbin.com/paste/maf9s

The install script prints out docs on how to get started. I guess it'd be good to add a README to a doc folder.

The upstream url is dead and there's no man page in the package. Is there documentation for this anywhere?

@fahq613, I'm not sure what's wrong, but it seems like your systemd configuration may be incomplete for Avahi. Try running "systemctl enable avahai-daemon".

Fails when I try to start the server service This is it's status output: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 180, in activate_name_owner self.start_service_by_name(bus_name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 278, in start_service_by_name 'su', (bus_name, flags))) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 651, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.systemd1.LoadFailed: Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

To fix the FAIL at rc.d stop, update the PID pgrep line in the rc.d file to python2.

The client and daemon need to be updated to point to python2 instead of simply python now that python3 is the default.

You shouldn't have to modify your mirrorlist. I don't know exactly what problem you are experiencing so I will just explain some pieces that seem relavant. Once you have set XferCommand, you should notice pacman connecting to the other computers on your network that have pkgdistcache-daemon running to download packages (not package databases). If the other computers don't have the package already downloaded you would see several 404s. If no other pkgdistcache-daemon running computers are on the network, then you should still see a visual difference during downloading in pacman, but no speedup and obviously no attempting to connect to other computers on the network. As a note, if you are testing frequently with a lot of different setups, there is cache file of the current peers on the network used by pkgdistcache-client at /tmp/pkgdistcache.*. You may wish to remove it between test cases so that it is easier to figure out what it going on.
