Re: houston?
by Tobias Hunger on Saturday 17/Feb/2007, @15:08

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.
