Re: [arch-dev-public] rename lcms -> lcms1

Hello everybody,

we have packages lcms (which provides lcms 1.x) and lcms2. The former is flagged out-of-date every now and then for version 2.x... I would like to rename the package to lcms1 with replace and provide for lcms. Any concerns?

I don't think we should rename. Kill the package instead. The software is unmaintained upstream and probably several security issues exist. Most packages that still depend on lcms1 can be changed to lcms2 without patches. For packages that need patches, Debian has those and otherwise we should just remove the software together with lcms1.
