Description Thorsten Leemhuis 2013-10-06 18:21:18 UTC
Some python programs in in Fedora 20 fail with libnotify-0.7.6 like this

[...]
    n.add_action("default", "default", self._notification_action_handler, None,
None)
TypeError: add_action() takes exactly 5 arguments (6 given)

For details see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1015900
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010509

There is a debian bug as well:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=722243

This doesn't happen with 0.7.5 and I wonder if that's due to the change in 
https://git.gnome.org/browse/libnotify/commit/?id=2b4ab4d22f42dd264a4ddfa68b02bba0d6c71b0b
which was discussed in Bug 702390 . It was mentioned there that this might be a ABI/API changes, but argued that it's not the case. Is that really true? If yes: is this NOTABUG and should be fixed in mailnag and others software?

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all
older bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen
updates for a while.

If you still use libnotify and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and currently supported version, then please feel free to report it at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libnotify/-/issues/
by following the guidelines at
https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented
so far (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
