lcagent can be used to send and receive data over #multicast and to pipe data between programs on one computer and as many receivers as the multicast network can support simultaneously. We're currently using it now to run our own CI builds by multicasting the patch to multiple build servers simultaneously.
This could also be useful for monitoring and configuration management.

@review The developers who packaged Librecast for #SummerOfNix a few years ago have kindly packaged lcagent as well. @NGIZero as a consortium aim to not only fund software, but to help new projects to build community.
All our packagers are a part of our community.
Thank you @jack and @nerves for putting in the work to get it into Nix Main.
