Rename app

[nedrichards]

When we have support for app-id renames we should rename this to net.minetest.minest which is the upstream app-id.

You mean net.minetest.minetest, right?

It seems like this has already been resolved and can be closed

This Flatpak currently uses net.minetest.Minetest with an uppercase Minetest. As I understand it, this issue proposes using lowercase minetest instead.

Great news: Minetest is rebranding to Luanti which will presumably bring a rename to org.luanti.something.

And so this issue was solved

Hello, good night.

Have you chosen the new appid for the game?

Best regards,

This is not for Flathub to decide: Flathub should follow upstream.

Answering my question... The appid will be org.luanti.Luanti as per luanti-org/luanti#15322

Beware, I hadn't thought about the detail of Luanti casing there. I had just inferred the naming convention based on net.minetest.Minetest. I don't know what's preferred here, but looking at a couple prominent examples most seem to use uppercase app names:

• org.inkscape.Inkscape
• org.blender.Blender
• md.obsidian.Obsidian
• org.mozilla.Thunderbird

Only counterexample I've found so far: org.mozilla.firefox

So org.luanti.Luanti should be fine.

Hi,

The choice of the case should follow upstream. Old upstream app ID is net.minetest.minetest (with lowercase), just like it was reported here, so I don't know if the uppercsase for Luanti is correct, or it should be org.luanti.luanti.

The AppStream specification says https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#tag-id-generic:

Additionally, even though uppercase letters are permitted in a component-ID, it is strongly encouraged to only use lowercase letters for the ID.

So if someone wants a way to choose between the two, there's that.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll roll with org.luanti.luanti according to the strong encouragement for now then :)
