Changing installation directories and names?

[ederag]

A question about names and directories needs to be answered for the migration to GSettings (#470).

Current state

After looking into history, the hamster-time-tracker directories are there since v1,

hamster/wscript

Line 45 in 944f5f0

bld.install_files('${LIBDIR}/hamster-time-tracker',

together with the same affiliations

hamster/wscript

Line 71 in 944f5f0

target= "org.gnome.hamster.service",

and DBus name

hamster/src/hamster-service

Line 45 in 944f5f0

bus_name = dbus.service.BusName("org.gnome.Hamster", bus=self.bus)

This was perhaps in opposition to the old hamster-applet ?

Discrepancy

Yet this raised a question:
is the name of the application Hamster,
as the executable and python module names suggest,
or
is the name HamsterTimeTracker as the package name and other directories suggest ?

There has been no concern about these names/directories discrepancy
so we could continue like that.

But if v3.0 must be also a migration to GSettings (that needs a decision on names),
then it is also the best opportunity to ensure consistency.

Proposition

We could change all directory names to hamster,
simply name the application Hamster,
and keep the org.gnome.Hamster affiliation,
both for the DBus interface and the GSettings Schemas.

This is open for discussion.

No objection, so let's do this.

Done, thanks to @GeraldJansen for PR #485 !
