Patch to remove conflict between deskutils/notification-daemon and deskutils/xfce4-notifyd woodsb02: maintainer-approval? (ehaupt), woodsb02: maintainer-approval? (gnome)

Description Ben Woods freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-02-20 14:58:39 UTC
A user cannot currently install multimedia/banshee on the XFCE desktop, because it relies on deskutils/notification-daemon, whilst XFCE uses deskutils/xfce4-notifyd, and the ports system has registered a conflict between these two ports.
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2015-February/098109.html

deskutils/xfce4-notifyd has been modified upstream such that it no longer has any overlapping files with deskutils/notification-daemon. There is no longer a file conflict, and having both installed at the same time does not break functionality of whichever is being used by the active desktop environment.

For reference, a similar bug was previously fixed in the Mageia Linux project:

Comment 3 Emanuel Haupt freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-02-21 06:56:05 UTC
I've just tested this and it seems indeed that the following 3 ports can coexist:

deskutils/xfce4-notifyd
deskutils/notification-daemon
deskutils/xfce4-notification-daemon

Over to gnome@ for a second opinion.
