According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_Package_Guidelines,

python-whoosh (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27425) should be renamed to python2-whoosh.

What I have done is like this: I downloaded the PKGBUILD of python-whoosh, and uploaded it under the name of python2-whoosh.

And I realize maybe I've messed something up, because the discussion and votes python-whoosh got won't migrate to python2-whoosh in this way. Sorry for this.

As my notetaking app "mikidown" (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=57432) now depends on "python3-whoosh"! Can someone help me rename the current "python-whoosh" to "python2-whoosh"?

Thxs.

first some notes: - this mail should have gone to the aur-general mailinglist - provide links to all the packages you refer to further on, i will not merge the packages, since you could have asked the current maintainer to update the package (to depend on python) and upload the python2 package with a dependency on python2 so the only thing what needs to happen is Stebalien to update the package python-whoosh to depend on python and you leave the python2-whoosh also to Stebalien or Stebalien agrees you maintain the python2 version. -- Ike
