------- Additional Comments From ed at eh3.com  2008-03-05 01:53 EST -------
I built distcc-2.18.3-4.fc8.src.rpm in mock (F8 x86_64) and rpmlint 
reports:

  distcc.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/doc/distcc-2.18.3/NEWS
  distcc-server.x86_64: W: incoherent-subsys /etc/init.d/distccd $prog
  distcc-server.x86_64: W: incoherent-init-script-name distccd

which all appear to be harmless.

I installed the RPMs on two dual-core F8 x86_64 machines and verified 
the fails-silently-w/error-code=6 behavior using the default config 
files (good).  I then edited the default /etc/sysconfig/distcc files, 
adding a ~/.distcc/hosts file, launched /usr/bin/distccmon-gnome, and 
ran "make -j4 CXX=distcc" for a ~50kloc C++ code base.  The compile 
proceeded nicely across the two machines.  Good!

I think the opt-in (off by default) setup is a good approach.

Unfortunately, I don't understand how to use the avahi (zeroconf) 
functionality.  Can some kind soul point me towards a README?  Or 
perhaps one could be included with the package?  Its just a 
suggestion...

I don't see any blockers here.  Since I don't fully understand the 
avahi patch or the interaction-with-icecream issue I'll give others 
24hrs to add comments.  If no one objects, I'll approve it.
