Joachim Wiberg 7f2fbc8bbf statd: avahi: rename avahi subsystem to mdns
The operator sees Infix through YANG models and should not need to know
which library implements a given feature.  Rename the public-facing
parts of the avahi module to use the mdns vocabulary:

- Log strings: "avahi: ..." → "mdns: ..."
- Public API:  avahi_ctx_init/exit → mdns_ctx_init/exit
- Main type:   struct avahi_ctx → struct mdns_ctx
- statd field: statd.avahi → statd.mdns

Internal types (struct avahi_neighbor, avahi_service, …) and file names
(avahi.c, avahi.h) are kept as-is — developers debugging at the C level
benefit from knowing the underlying implementation.

Introduction

Statd is designed to be integrated into Infix and supply the operational database with data. To do this it uses companion binaries written in python, these are located in the python directory.

Run outside Infix

Prerequisites

There are some requirements set on your computer to run statd locally.

  • An Ubuntu based system
  • lldpd
  • python3
  • libite
  • libsrx
  • python-poetry
  • sysrepo (At least the same version as Infix)
  • libyang (At least the same version as Infix)

Install YANG modules in local sysrepo

This requires that you first build Infix, since netopeer2 and sysrepo are responsible for installing their own YANG files.

user@host ~/infix$ export TARGET_DIR="output/target/"
user@host ~/infix$ export NETOPEER2_SEARCHPATH=$TARGET_DIR/usr/share/yang/modules/netopeer2/
user@host ~/infix$ export SYSREPO_SEARCHPATH=$TARGET_DIR/usr/share/yang/modules/sysrepo/
user@host ~/infix$ export LIBNETCONF2_SEARCHPATH=$TARGET_DIR/usr/share/yang/modules/libnetconf2/
user@host ~/infix$ export CONFD_SEARCHPATH=$TARGET_DIR/usr/share/yang/modules/confd/
user@host ~/infix$ export TEST_MODE_SEARCHPATH=$TARGET_DIR/usr/share/yang/modules/test-mode/
user@host ~/infix$ export ROUSETTE_SEARCHPATH=$TARGET_DIR/usr/share/yang/modules/rousette/
user@host ~/infix$ export SEARCH_PATH="$NETOPEER2_SEARCHPATH $SYSREPO_SEARCHPATH $LIBNETCONF2_SEARCHPATH $CONFD_SEARCHPATH $TEST_MODE_SEARCHPATH $ROUSETTE_SEARCHPATH"

user@host ~/infix$ ./utils/srload src/confd/yang/sysrepo.inc
user@host ~/infix$ ./utils/srload src/confd/yang/libnetconf2.inc
user@host ~/infix$ ./utils/srload src/confd/yang/netopeer2.inc
user@host ~/infix$ ./utils/srload src/confd/yang/confd.inc
user@host ~/infix$ ./utils/srload src/confd/yang/rousette.inc
user@host ~/infix$ ./utils/srload src/confd/yang/test-mode.inc

Build and install python companion binaries

user@host ~/infix/src/statd/python$ ./local_install.sh

This will install the binaries in ~/.local/bin

Build and install statd

user@host ~/infix/src/statd$ ./configure --with-yanger-dir=$HOME/.local/bin
user@host ~/infix/src/statd$ make
user@host ~/infix/src/statd$ sudo make install

Running statd

Since the yanger binary, for example, reads the shadow database, you can expect different results if running statd as root or not.

user@host ~/infix/src/statd$ statd
