It does two things :

• replace cd $srcdir/$package with only cd $package. makepkg already leave us in the $srcdir package.

• Place the systemd user unit in the correct place. With the current PKGBUILD, it is placed in the building user $HOME, which could be different from the installing user. (eg Building and pushing on private package repo).

Thanks for your time :)

@rrt I just made you a maintainer of the package. Feel free to apply these changes yourself!

Thank you for this package! However, few things are missing: 1. python2-dbus is missing as dependency $ notify-listener /usr/bin/notify-listener:21: PyGIWarning: Notify was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Notify', '0.7') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded. from gi.repository import Notify, GObject Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/notify-listener", line 25, in <module> import dbus ImportError: No module named dbus After install, it worked with the same warning. 2. Update the instructions The most important being number 5 without which no notifications arrived: ... 5. Start the listener int he background: $ notify-listener & ... Perhaps, copy-paste them from Github! 3. Suggestions * I would rename the binary notify-listener to libnotify-irssi-listener in /usr/bin to avoid future name collisions. * It seems quite useful to make a unit for systemctl that should be placed in .config/systemd/user/libnotify-irssi.service that would contain the below which would allow to start it with 'systemctl --user start irssi-libnotify' instead of a background task: [Unit] Description=Irssi-libnotify [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/notify-listener [Install] WantedBy=default.target Cheers, rrt

Done. Thanks for letting me know.

You should probably update this to use https://github.com/stickster/irssi-libnotify

@dakanya, how are you starting X? please make sure you are completely up to date and have merged all your pacnews. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/General_Troubleshooting#Session_permissions

I'm trying to get this to work but this error has me stumped. I suspect it's something to do with systemd and dbus. # Failed to open connection to "session" message bus: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11

daemons don't work right now, I am working on them
