Re: RFS: gnotify -- a notification service for many desktop-environments and WM's



Hi,

version 0.9-1 is available via mentors.debian.net now. The new upstream
release includes a few bugfixes and new functions.

This package is lintian-clear (which means it does not even produce
warnings, as I can see it) and builds fine in an pbuilder environment.

I'd appreciate any hints and/or sponsorships.

Kind regards,
  Simon
