Adept notifer should use KNotify to notify updates

[luisromangz]

Binary package hint: adept

If I'm not wrong, Ubuntu's update notifier shows popups when there are new updates to packages avalaible.

I think that adept_notifier could use KNotify to inform the user about package updates. Its behavior would be easy to configure using the KControl notifications module, so it would be as intrusive as you liked.

I'm not sure what you're looking for beyond the current functionality. adept_updater already shows an icon in the system tray when there are updates available. I'll add it to the wishlist, the developers might decide to add it or they might decide the current functionality is enough

[luisromangz (luisromangz)]

Yes, it shows an icon in the system tray, but my idea is that a notification popup message should appear on screen, and of course this behaviour would be customizable through the system notifies module in kcontrol or systemsettings, the same way as knetworkmanager does, for example.

I think it would be nice to have this message showing when new updates are found, and of course you would be able to deactivate it in order to make the notifier less intrusive. Showing the message means that you can make ktts read it, for example.

I agree that Adept should use KNotify, but this is certainly a wishlist item.

Notification is now done with update-notifier-kde.
It'd be nice to use KNotify for update notifications rather than the ugly balloon thing it uses at the moment, especially with the upcoming KNofiy plasmoid.

This should appear in update-notifier-kde-0.10

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package update-notifier-kde - 0.10

---------------
update-notifier-kde (0.10) jaunty; urgency=low

  * use apt_check from update-notifier-common
  * Swap out KPassivePopups for KNotification (LP: #104411)
