I have taken this path as well (e.g.; com.ubuntu.camera, com.ubuntu.calculator) and thought that if Canonical PES later itself developed extra packages they would live in com.canonical.*, Verizon would be com.verizon.* and so on. This brings in the thought of why click is not /opt/com.ubuntu.click instead of /opt/click.ubuntu.com, although in itself it is not a click package. -- 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
