[Goodies-dev] notification-daemon: broken release tarball

Hi all,

I am posting this here rather than directly to the author as I believe
multiple people will have the permissions to do this.

The current release tarball of notification-daemon is broken. It
contains the dbus service file, rather than the service.in file, and so
make doesn't process the file and replace the path to the executable.
This means that the install will break if it is done to a non-default
prefix. 

It is correct in svn, so a new release cut from a checkout would be
sufficient I believe.

As a workaround the file can just be edited before install to point to
the right prefix.

Thanks,

James
