Description avx 2012-02-17 16:33:35 UTC

dunst is a notification system, inheriting code and thus looking like dmenu, written in C.

Currently, there's no official release, only a tree on GitHub, but it works and is pretty stable so far.

Tested the ebuild on ~amd64/~x86, works for me. The ebuild could support 'savedconfing' and USE=+/-xinerama, which should be easy, but I didn't have time to read up on 'savedconfig', yet.

Since we've already got dmenu/dwm and other WMs with a 'bar', I think this would be a nice addition to portage.

BTW, not the author, just a fan.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
missing in portage

Expected Results:  
should be in portage

Thanks for getting the ball rolling. Does this http://gentoo-overlays.zugaina.org/flora/portage/x11-misc/dunst/ have anything newer?

Can be closed. Dunst is in portage (though not the 9999-version).
