[SailfishDevel] Update on application naming for Harbour applications

[Jonni Rainisto]

Hi,

Whoever grabs the name first keeps it (AFAIK). So of someone before you takes harbour-videocam, you can do something like harbour-videocam-artem or some other unique name.

So if $NAME == harbour-videocam then:
/usr/bin/$NAME == /usr/bin/harbour-videocam
/usr/share/$NAME == /usr/share/harbour-videocam
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/86x86/apps/$NAME.png == /usr/share/icons/hicolor/86x86/apps/harbour-videocam.png

So forget the domain names with dots as current tools dont really support them currently.

What if there are two packages in app store named harbour-videocam?
Or whoever grabs the name first keeps it?

What about the main app binary name and it's data folder?
Shall they be harbour-videocam or com.supercell.videocam? Or harbour-com.supercell.videocam?

Cheers,
Artem.

Hi,

Domain part is not needed anymore, so its in the form of:

harbour-applicationname

That way for example "harbour-videocam"-package doesnt confilict with possible systems "videocam"-package.

harbour-org.coderus.application

why?

It was brought to our attention that this isn’t factually possible at this time due to limitations in Qt Creator/qmake, so we’re unfortunately forced due to time limitations - so as to not inconvenience you developers - to change plans.
