            Bug ID: 444894
           Summary: Please do identify software by the name of the branch
                    that it was compiled from.
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Microsoft Windows
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: beedellrokejulianlockhart at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Please have observed
"http://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/33718#pullrequestreview-796861130"
for explanation of why this is problematic: recursive infinite replacement of
software that has been installed by winget.

OBSERVED RESULT
Currently, software that has been compiled at http://binary-factory.kde.org is
identified within the Control Panel of Windows after installation as "master-"
plus an apparent-random string of characters. This is strange, because this
system of versioning rather than usage of the name of the branch that it was
compiled from does mean that usage of alternative identificative methodology is
being required by managers of packages, such as "winget", which is available at
"http://github.com/microsoft/winget".

EXPECTED RESULT
The software should be identified within Control Panel by the name of the
branch that it was compiled from, because this would allow consistent
identification to occur across all methods of distribution, and across
versions: release as Nightly and Release would be identified consistently
outside of "http://binary-factory.kde.org".

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: All.
