This would be pointless because you can't use Cinnamon's internal notification server outside of Cinnamon.

This is to eliminate the requirement to install notification-daemon when it is specified in dependency from another installed package.
For example awesome and enlightenment provides notification-daemon.

Packages should not depend on notification-daemon.

I think that providing notification-daemon is a bad idea, because it does not ensure that the selected notification server is used in the actual environment.

However, in the repository many packages require notification-daemon.
Although there is no point to install it when cinnamon provides its function.

I opened a new task to remove notification-daemon from optdepends:  FS#47376 
Comment by surefire (surefire) - Monday, 14 December 2015, 21:34 GMT
No, No. optdepends is not so important. It is important if depends.
Comment by Balló György (City-busz) - Monday, 14 December 2015, 21:45 GMT
Currently there are no packages in the official repositories which depend on notification-daemon.
Comment by surefire (surefire) - Monday, 14 December 2015, 21:48 GMT
Then please forgive me. Apparently these packages I have ever met in AUR.
Once again excuse me.
Comment by Balló György (City-busz) - Monday, 14 December 2015, 21:54 GMT
No problem. You can ask the maintainers to remove notification-daemon from depends.

Thank you very much.
