Description:
I would like to request that Avahi no longer "replace" mDNSResponder, though I accept that it should probably still conflict and provide it, so that mDNSR can be added to AUR. Running `curl -sI http://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/mDNSResponder/mDNSResponder-333.10.tar.gz | grep Mod` returns "Last-Modified: Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:11:06 GMT" which i assume was the post date of newest tarball, so it seems mDNSR is still in active development, and will be an optional dependency in the newest version of Netatalk (3.0). There are other reasons outlined in the aur-general post (http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2012-April.txt).
The proposed PKGBUILD is at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1088978

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Install
