I would also say that the change request has been misinterpreted by the Appstream folks. You highlighted that dashes within that issue the domain part aren't allowed by the D-Bus specification, but are allowed in the application/sub-domain part. Based on that an application D-Bus name such as org.kde.massif-visualiser is perfectly fine - yet appstream disallows it. I would say that is a bug on the part of appstream and the true fix here is for appstream to allow dashes within the final part - then we can put massif-visualiser and kwalletmanager back to the names they should and our issues with apps.kde.org will go away. > > Nate > Cheers, Ben
