Re: houston?

Yes, I actually removed move references to Houston, just calling the thing Decibel daemon in most places.

It still uses "Houston" in its name on the D-Bus, so I did not ask Nathan to change that entry. Developer's will stumble over the name at some point;-)

Best Regards,
Tobias

so the d-bus name differs from the name used everywhere else? would it make sense to harmonize the two so it's a bit more obvious and follows the 'principle of least suprise'? this would probably need to be done before lots of applications start using it (and therefore relying on 'houston'), of course....

You are right, it does make sense to do get rid of the name completely and I am contemplating to rename the service from de.basyskom.Decibel.Houston to de.basyskom.Decibel. I would like to wait a bit longer before I go through with this change (a release or two), just to make sure nothing else will pop up that I need to stick into de.basyskom.Decibel.

The Decibel client library contains a couple of string constants with all the important service names and object pathes, so renaming the daemon is not a big deal (at least while binary compatibility is not an issue).

It might be nice to put the Decibel service into org.kde at that point. I used de.basyskom mostly because I did not want to pollute the org.kde namespace without getting permission first.

Renaming de.basyskom.Decibel.Houston to org.kde.decibel makes a lot of sense.

The process of getting permission is a simple email to the kde-core-devel mailing list. I am sure that there will be no objections.
