The Desktop Notifications framework provides a standard way of doing passive
pop-up notifications on the desktop. These are designed to notify the
user of something without interrupting their work with a dialog box that they
must close. Passive popups can automatically disappear after a short period
of time.
This port contains the library and a small command line client.
See deskutils/notification-daemon for the daemon.
===> The following configuration options are available for libnotify-0.8.8:
MANPAGES=on: Build and/or install manual pages
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

devel/libnotify: bump portrevision after 50e1b669d76a
This is because the change influences runtime behavior: the port built
successfully before, but only the notify-send command did not behave
correctly.

devel/libnotify: fix build with lld 17 (take 2)
The fix for bug 274108 broke running the notify-send command, resulting
in:
ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0: Undefined symbol "environ"
This is because libnotify uses the same linker version script for both
its libnotify.so shared library and for its notify-send executable.
The linker version script places all symbols that do not begin with
"notify_" into the local scope, making them effectively hidden. This is
fine for a shared library, but not for an executable, since it will also
hide the symbols "environ" and "__progname", which are required for most
programs.
Fix it by not using the linker version script for the notify-send
executable, so no required symbols are hidden.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Now the library acts like a wrapper in such scenario, with some limited
capabilities, but this will enforce security and user control over the
allowed notifications. [Marco]

The old website was not updated for many years now. As there seems to be
no up-to-date homepage for the libnotify project, just point WWW to
the repository.

Fix generation of manual page
textproc/docbook-xsl seems to be missing appropriate stylesheets needed to
generated the notify-send.1 manual page as the formatting of that manual
page was completely broken. Use textproc/docbook-xsl-ns instead, which
seems to solve the issue.

Move some gnome@ ports to desktop@
As gnome@ is lacking active committers at the moment, transfer some of its
ports [1] up the stack to the desktop@ group, in hope that this way we get some
updates in as the set of people that "should feel responsible" grows.
As soon as gnome@ grows some committers again, this can (and should) of course
be reverted again.
[1] The list of ports chosen in this move consits of all the ports that are
required to build x11/kde5.

Gnome 3.14.1 and Cinnamon 2.2.16 are supported on FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE and up.

allow them to compile with this update.

It is replaced by a GIO kqueue implementation developed as part of a NetBSD
GSoC 2011 project by Dimitry Matveev.
* Fix a bug in the glib20 Makefile so it includes -lintl in the glib-2.0
pkgconfig file [1]. This broke static linking and newer binutils.
* Add introspection USE_GNOME component which sets GI_SCANNER_DISABLE_CACHE to
prevent creation of / root/.cache dir. Defaults to build & run depend,
but :build and :run switches available.
* New x11-toolkits/pangox-compat port and companion USE_GNOME component for
pangox support which was removed from the pango port. Add it to ports still
using pangox API.

Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order. The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:

which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
