Description Utkarsh Verma 2020-12-23 03:44:59 UTC
I had to manually install 'x11-libs/libnotify' to get notifications to work. Please consider adding it as a dependency or as a USE flag.

Hi Utkarsh,

please help me understand the situation better.  Is this specific to XFCE, are you running XFCE?  What kind of notifications are you referring to?  All I find upstream is this: https://github.com/slgobinath/SafeEyes/search?q=libnotify&type=issues .  Thanks in advance!

Best, Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
I've observed this on KDE. If I don't install 'libnotify', then the notification plugin fails to load.
This is the line of code which depends on it:
https://github.com/slgobinath/SafeEyes/blob/master/safeeyes/plugins/notification/plugin.py#L24
Comment 3 Sebastian Pipping gentoo-dev 2020-12-23 19:43:36 UTC
Thanks for your detailed reply and the link!

Based on ..

  # git --no-pager grep -h require_version | sort -u
  gi.require_version('AppIndicator3', '0.1')
  gi.require_version('Gdk', '3.0')
  gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
  gi.require_version('Notify', '0.7')

.. it seems to me that we should add all of these as runtime dependencies:

  dev-libs/libappindicator[introspection]:3
  x11-libs/gtk+[introspection]:3
  x11-libs/libnotify[introspection]

What do you think?
Comment 4 Sebastian Pipping gentoo-dev 2020-12-23 19:44:39 UTC
My bad, second take:

  dev-libs/libappindicator:3[introspection]
  x11-libs/gtk+:3[introspection]
  x11-libs/libnotify[introspection]
Comment 5 Utkarsh Verma 2020-12-25 05:27:37 UTC
Hi Sebastian,
Thanks for looking further into this. I think these dependencies should be fine. Some USE flags could be used to mark out these dependencies in case the user doesn't use these plugins. By default, these libs should be installed though.
