Hello, I've no experience with packaging desktop software so maybe my question will be stupid.
I'm updating a package which, when running tests, uses libnotify library to send a notification to a desktop environment. The library uses D-Bus to route the notification to org.freedesktop.Notifications D-Bus service. So package needs to build-require an org.freedesktop.Notifications server implementation. Now tha packaging question: How to express this dependency? I discovered that many org.freedesktop.Notifications server packages provide `desktop-notification-daemon' RPM symbol. I think it would be much better if the dependency was expressed as, e.g., `dbus(org.freedesktop.Notifications)'. It would be more generic and it would allow to express the dependencies not only for desktop notificiations servers. The Provides symbols could be generated by rpm-build scripts from the D-Bus service definition files. Is this idea worth for pursuing? -- Petr -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
