Bug 274894 – net-wireless/blueman: allow other notification daemons

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description nm (RETIRED) 2009-06-21 02:27:17 UTC]

Rather than hardcode the ebuild to only use notification-daemon, please provide a || list of choices, including notification-daemon-xfce and xfce4-notifyd.

I tested Blueman with xfce4-notify, and it works just fine. There's absolutely no change in functionality. :)

The reason why I ask this is because installing xfce4-notify !blocks other notification daemons, of course, as they all use the same libnotify. Unfortunately, that means that world cannot be properly updated anymore because Blueman wants only notification-daemon, which has the same !blocks as all the other notifyd packages.

So if you switch it to || -type depends, that should alleviate the problem. Thanks!

http://blueman-project.org/downloads.html says that blueman depend on "notification-daemon or any other libnotify compatible engine", so maybe we need change dependency from notification-daemon to libnotify?

Nope. As far as I know you still need something that's running libnotify, not just libnotify itself. Besides, notify-python already pulls in the libnotify dep. What we want is a || to allow any of a few choices.

This is what should go in the ebuilds, to replace notification-daemon:

|| ( x11-misc/notification-daemon x11-misc/xfce4-notifyd )

libnotify should be the correct dep.

[Comment 10 Tiziano Müller (RETIRED) 2010-05-11 07:55:30 UTC]

solved with version bump to 1.21.
Dropped dep on a notification-daemon completely since package doesn't check for it and notify-python pulls them in anyway.
