Remove the TA- prefix from the package name

[kennybirdwell]

The app packager appends TA- to the folder name when building an app.  I realize some portions of ES use this folder name to load props/transforms just based on the TA- prefix.  There could be other reasons I'm not aware of.
My questions is there a way to remove/turn off this function of appending TA- to the folder name? 

Even if it's needed on the ES search head it's not needed in other areas of the deployment.  My company has used a naming standard to help keep things separated and well defined for what the app is for based off the folder name.  I'm now starting to get requests to deploy in house developed apps that have been built using this app builder and of course they are all appended with TA- which throws a wrench in the naming standard we have used for years.  We've had those before but they were limited to Splunk Base apps which also fits into our naming standard as up until this point I could say with 99% probability anything with TA- in the folder name was a Splunk Base app, now that is no longer true.

I'm not aware of a setting to prevent the Add-On Builder from prefixing the app name with "TA-".  You can, however, modify the app after it's built.  Just rename the subdirectory then change the default/app.conf file contents to match.

It's more than just the folder name and the defaut/app.conf file, it changes python script names within the bin folder and all sorts of other things so it's not something simple to just change the folder name back to what it was.

Thanks, had a feeling this would be the answer but thought I would check here first.
