mdns-repeater: ipv6 support

[tokyovigilante]

I have found mdns-repeater works well across VLANs using IPv4, but does not support IPv6. The upstream project has a recently updated pull request to add this (geekman/mdns-repeater#25). Is this something that could be considered for OPNsense?

If they merge it and ship it in a release—sure.

Thanks, hopefully upstream is not abandoned! Is there any way to build this on my local device to test? Found https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=21739.0, but that may be out of date. I don't have a huge amount of BSD experience.

If you insist I can provide you with a compiled package if the patch applies and compiles in FreeBSD, but I’m really not that comfortable with shipping features and refactored that ads not even merged to the development version of the project. Because then we become upstream in a way. 😉

Thanks, that would be fantastic. I'm very happy to work with the upstream devs on testing and code review etc. to get it merged there, but my packaging/porting experience on BSD is pretty limited to appreciate the help.

@tokyovigilante granted this took some time to remember but 3de30c0 compiled without much effort needed

Here is your test package:

# pkg add -f https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/snapshots/misc/mdns-repeater-1.11_2.pkg

Thanks! Will test it out and feed back.
