[aur-general] OK! changing a PKG's name and retaining votes/comments
by member graysky 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

I started a thread with same subject less the "OK! " back in May and am glad to see people saw some value in it to the point of modifying the AUR! Since the next version of the linux kernel is now released and likely soon to enter [testing] under a new name, I need to use this new feature to change the name of "kernel26-ck" in the AUR to "whatever-tpowa-uses-ck" -- at the risk of exposing my naiveté on the subject, I'll ask: 1) What is the SOP for people to request a namechange? 2) What is critically important to include the PKGBUILD? My best-guess answers: 1) Upload the new PKGNAME as a new package and email a TU with the old/new name or post to this mailing list. 2) Include a replaces statement in the PKGBUILD. E.g. replaces=('old_PKG_name'). Thanks for the thoughts!
