If your aim is to come up with a unique domain name that is unlikely to be name-clashed, then why not use your own name as part of such a domain, maybe something like "personal.lawrence.doliveiro.dbus.*" or "personal.l.d.oliveiro.dbussy.*" or maybe "oss.dbussy.*"? If you wish to use "org.freedesktop" the question would be: why is it important for you to use that domain, is that domain really necessary for your library to work? ---rony _______________________________________________ dbus mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dbus
