Description Mikel Olasagasti 2009-08-08 16:21:11 UTC
There are at least 3 notification daemons that use libnotify: notification-daemon, notify-osd ( bug 280775 ) and xfce4-notifyd.

Each one exclude the others and there is no virtual for desktop-notification. This can cause problems when updating world as on 274894.

x11-libs/libnotify is our "virtual"

PDEPEND="|| ( x11-misc/notification-daemon
x11-misc/notification-daemon-xfce
x11-misc/xfce4-notifyd )"

Feel free to open a request that notify-osd is put in the list once it's in tree.
