  1. Compared to wsdd, it has more features and is more stable, and my wsdd inexplicably cannot function properly
  2. wsdd memory occupies 28Mb, while wsdd2 memory occupies 1Mb.
  3. The wsdd2 source code is taken from professional NAS (ReadyNAS OS), and I think it should perform better!
  4. wsdd2 is also used for the OpenWrt samba package.

samba is not a make dependency. I did not know this feature:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#depends

"Dependencies defined inside the package() function are only required to run the software."

It is the relation between samba and wsdd2.

Is 'samba' also a makedepends?

marcosfrm commented on 2021-08-21 20:01 (UTC)

samba is a runtime dep, please put it in depends=().

marcosfrm commented on 2021-08-16 23:17 (UTC)

In package() use just:

  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
  make install SBINDIR=/usr/bin DESTDIR="${pkgdir}"

Since wsdd2.service has BindsTo=smb.service it requires Samba, otherwise will not start. Hence, depends=(samba) is nice to have...

@fryfrog Yes both packages do the same things, while wsdd2 has LLMNR support and a few more options. The other notable difference is that wsdd is written in python, while wsdd2 is a C program.

I also have to add that wsdd2 was taken from Netgears ReadyNASOS and until recently has seen very little changes/fixes since 2017. There has been some bigger rewrites/fixes from Volodymyr Prodan and those where merged recently via v1.8.5.

So i consider the wsdd/python version a more active project, while wsdd2 can be used as-is, but might not see any changes going forward.

Also works perfectly well on a Raspberry Pi archlinux installation if that's of any interest - after adding armv7h to arch= in PKGBUILD, of course.

It would also be reasonable to just take and modify the .service file and include it as a file, like most other packages.

usually if something needs patching you would use a patch file. its simply less error prone.
