Preferred interface

[rfjakob]

Hi! earlyoom is looking for a way out of mess that are gui notifications from a service. I found https://wiki.debianforum.de/Desktop-Notification_von_Systemservice_mittels_dbus and now this repo.

I have started a C implementation of basically the same thing you have done in Python: https://github.com/rfjakob/systembus-notify

However, I chose the D-Bus names independently (net.nuetzlich.SystemNotifications), which is stupid, as now the both are not compatible. Your project was here before, so I would try to make systembus-notify compatible to at.xundeenergie.notifications.

What do you think? Regards from Vienna.

Why not just handle both interfaces? I feel like I'll be needing system notifications for some of my scripts, so I was about to make a script that both handles earlyoom's notifications at net.nuetzlich.SystemNotifications, but also handles the more advanced functionality from at.xundeenergie.notifications.

You mean that systembus-notify could handle both?

Yes, that would be nice. However, it seems that this project already has three different interfaces, and I'm not sure which one is preferred:

1. /at/xundeenergie/notifications
2. /at/xundeenergie/notifications/simple
3. /at/xundeenergie/notifications/advanced

[xundeenergie]

it depends, which Interfaces you define, on which the service should listen to...

I couldn't figure out this project's code at all, so I just ignored this one's interfaces in favor of @rfjakob's interface and my own custom one: https://github.com/HugLifeTiZ/configs-scripts/blob/master/scripts/system-notify
