The port installs, uninstalls, and works. However, I'd appreciate feedback: Name: the port is "notification-daemon-xfce". In the port directory, I called it "xfce4-notification-daemon" to be consistent with other ports. Categories: it's a notification daemon. I put it in deskutils, but could also see it being in misc, sysutils, or x11. Makefile correctness: the port used James Earl's audio/xfce4-mixer port as a skeleton. There may be unnecessary leftovers in the Makefile, or things left out. Should it have a dependency on dbus? Are all the USE_GNOME settings needed? pkg-plist correctness: I think it's okay. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
