Notification-daemon-xfce is a port of Gnome’s notification-daemon for the Xfce desktop. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 107630 [details] notification-daemon-xfce-0.3.6.ebuild
Created attachment 107632 [details, diff] fix compatibility with current dbus-binding-tool I suppose it would help if I uploaded the patch my ebuild refers to.
What do you mean by Gnome notification daemon? There is one notification daemon which is for all desktops I've understood, x11-misc/notification-daemon.. Maybe i'm blind but I don't see purpose for this :)
Ah, it doesn't need gconf.. I still think patch to upstream conditionalizing gconf configuration backend would be better than this fork.

This also adds an Xfce settings plugin. If upstream is patched, this plugin will need to be included in the patch.
This would also need editing of.. gnome-extra/gnome-power-manager net-im/gajim rox-extra/memo x11-libs/libnotify Because if this replaces notification-daemon those apps should also work. Just saying, don't get me wrong.. I don't want this in tree.
Why would those apps need editing? This works just fine with all the libnotify apps I use. (libnotify, gaim, etc)

Yes, it's annoying that the original gets pulled in, but they don't collide: * x11-misc/notification-daemon Latest version available: 0.3.6-r1 Latest version installed: 0.3.6-r1 Size of downloaded files: 1,178 kB Homepage: http://www.galago-project.org/ Description: Notifications daemon License: GPL-2 * xfce-extra/notification-daemon-xfce Latest version available: 0.3.6 Latest version installed: 0.3.6 Size of downloaded files: 930 kB Homepage: http://www.xfce.org/ Description: Xfce port of Gnome's notification daemon License: GPL-2
(In reply to comment #10) > Yes, it's annoying that the original gets pulled in, but they don't collide: So you have FEATURES="collision-protect" in make.conf and tried emerging both after adding it?
That is correct. Notification-daemon-xfce installs /usr/lib/notification-daemon-xfce-1.0/* and /usr/libexec/notification-daemon-xfce. Both packages write to /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service, so the last one installed is "registered"? there, but that doesn't seem to have any effect on operation and I don't have any errors when merging them. (FEATURES="parallel-fetch collision-protect")
This should be an extension to current notification-daemon, or somekind of patch to upstream but this is not a fork we will likely add to portage because it conflicts and would require dep changing for some ebuilds. Plus, original notification-daemon works just fine and you can adjust notify position with gconf-editor. Thanks, drac
Reopen for correct resolution.
I've added 0.3.7 to tree but mark my words I'll likely be regretting this.
