Changing installation directories and names?

Created by: 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, https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/blob/944f5f06871f89df029dd992945a8a8f87b2db26/wscript#L45 together with the same affiliations https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/blob/944f5f06871f89df029dd992945a8a8f87b2db26/wscript#L71 and DBus name https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/blob/944f5f06871f89df029dd992945a8a8f87b2db26/src/hamster-service#L45 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.
