Yes. I forget: do SSO tokens (i.e. login.launchpad.net, not a full LP account) have a sensible name associated with them, or are they just a hash? > Click packages doesn't talk to Launchpad at all, and I want to keep it that > way. > Can we use com.ubuntu.$user.$app? Let's not do exactly that in case somebody picks, say, "juju" as their user name and confuses us all. Something like com.ubuntu.developer.$user.$app would be OK though, bearing in mind that these are mostly-autogenerated names and only need to be readable rather than necessarily very short. However, that still requires a user namespace; so either your server talks to Launchpad, or it maintains its own account management. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
