Details

A few days ago I noticed that Kodi (media center) doesn't discover NFS servers in the local network anymore.

After some hours of debugging Kodi and libnfs, I finally found out that rpcbind is the culprit (see also my filed issue over at libnfs: https://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs/issues/270).

Turns out, the version bump from 0.2.5 to 1.2.5 of rpcbind disabled a feature by default. This feature is needed for rpcbind to reply to broadcast requests, which is necessary for the "discover servers" feature of libnfs to work.

The necessary feature of rpcbind can now be activated by adding --enable-rmtcalls as a configuration flag. Please consider to add that to your PKGBUILD.
