Bugzilla – Bug 1216023
kio_* packages should be renamed to kio-*.
Last modified: 2023-11-06 17:19:16 UTC
Per https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE%3AFactory/kio_audiocd#comment-1828329, locating the `kio_audiocd` package with `zypper` is difficult due to its naming contrasting its `kio-*` counterparts. I believe that this should be rectified by renaming `kio_audiocd` to `kio-audiocd`. Per https://discuss.kde.org/t/kio-packages-named-inconsistently/5598/4?u=rokejulianlockhart, other prominent distributions use the more consistent upstream moniker: * https://packages.debian.org/sid/kde/kio-audiocd * https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/kio-audiocd
A basic search shows that there are more kio packages with an underline: kio_audiocd kio_audiocd-devel kio_audiocd-lang kio_iso kio_kamera kio_perldoc kio_perldoc-lang

Apologies for not checking beforehand. Although an underscore is a more normal naming convention, upstream appears to use hyphens, so I believe that we should replicate that in the interest of reducing unnecessary inconsistency between upstream versus downstream and other distributions.
We discussed about it, we won't rename the existing packages.
