[Bug 1302641] [NEW] Change UbuntuWebView namespace to Ubuntu.Browser
Public bug reported:
The Ubuntu.Components.Extras namespace (and sub-namespaces) are not
technically part of the Ubuntu SDK (they are "extra"), which means that
their use is not encouraged for app developers outside of
experimentation. Since we want to encourage the use of the UbuntuWebView
component (and discourage he use of QTWebkit), we need to move it
outside of the .Extras namespace.
The precedent for other components is simple Ubuntu.${project}. For
example, content-hub has Ubuntu.Content, online accounts has
Ubuntu.OnlineAccounts, etc. Following that, UbuntuWebView should reside
in the namespace Ubuntu.Browser.
Dropping the component from the old namespace will break some apps in
the store that are using it. The list of those apps can be found here:
https://chinstrap.canonical.com/~alan/log.txt
If it would work, adding a symlink from the old location to the new
might allow those apps to keep working after the change.
