From upstream: > # Snorenotify is unmaintained, it is recommended to use KNotifications instead.
Unfortunately, the maintainers of qTox have not had the time to work on things for a while now, and there is no knowing if or when things might improve. The official repository has been read-only archived, and while it should continue to be usable as long as it works well with its dependencies, but if it's blocking things like this, I guess last rites will be unevitable. As long as a dependency is optional, though, I guess that option could be dropped before the whole thing is dropped.
I don't suppose anything happened there? I found something called qtox_enhanced among github forks, but that did not seem to do anything wrt notifications yet. anyway, this is now the last package depending on snorenotify.
Sadly still very archived indeed. I remember seeing talk of that fork using a fork of toxcore as well, so it's not a drop-in replacement, and really haven't looked what else is going on with it. I think for the time being, I will at least drop the option for snorenotify, hopefully within the next few days.
