Some stable packages are not yet ready for x11-libs/libnotify-0.7.2.

sys-apps/gnome-disk-utility-2.32.0-r1 fails to build with x11-libs/libnotify-0.7.2. gnome-disk-utility-2.32.1 has already been ported to the new API.

> notification-main.c: In function ‘update_status_icon’:
> notification-main.c:539: error: too many arguments to function ‘notify_notification_new’
> notification-main.c:540: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘notify_notification_attach_to_status_icon’

gnome-extra/nm-applet-0.8 fails to build with x11-libs/libnotify-0.7.2, but the patch for nm-applet-0.8.2 can be used.

gnome-disk-utility, bug 361125
and I've applied the nm-applet fix to both 0.8 and 0.8.1 too, so it won't be a problem anymore.

amd64 ok appears to work fine, needed for gnome disk utility

[Comment 5 Agostino Sarubbo 2011-03-29 16:03:52 UTC]

=x11-libs/libnotify-0.7.2
=dev-python/notify-python-0.1.1-r2

amd64 ok

[Comment 6 Christoph Mende (RETIRED) 2011-03-29 16:12:49 UTC]

amd64 done, thanks guys

net-p2p/transmission-2.12 (current stable version) fails to build against libnotify-0.7.2:

notify.c: In function ‘tr_notify_added’:
notify.c:163: error: too many arguments to function ‘notify_notification_new’

transmission-2.13 has a libnotify-0.7 patch and builds fine.

[Comment 8 Alex Buell 2011-04-03 22:58:49 UTC]

Tested on sPARC, with transmission 2.13, seem to work OK. Can stabilise.

[Comment 9 Markus Meier 2011-04-12 21:02:03 UTC]

arm stable

[Comment 10 David Abbott (RETIRED) 2011-04-17 08:36:36 UTC]

Archtested on x86: Everything fine

[Comment 11 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) 2011-04-23 17:17:00 UTC]

alpha/ia64/sh/sparc/x86 stable, Samuli is doing xfce for alpha/ia64/sh/sparc

[Comment 12 Alexey Portnov 2011-04-25 17:08:51 UTC]

Where do libnotify-0.7.2 came from? The latest stable is 0.4.5 on the official site:
http://www.galago-project.org/news/index.php
Some sources from independent projects don't compile with libnotify-0.7.2

from GNOME project now,

ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libnotify/0.7/LATEST-IS-0.7.2

that galago-project has been "dead" for a while, not sure if that will change in future...

The fix is often very trivial, just look at the existing patches in Portage:

find /usr/portage -name '*libnotify*.patch'

ppc/ppc64 stable
