Hey, just wondering what the best approach would be for renaming `identicurse` and `identicurse-nogit` to the more consistent (with other AUR packages) `identicurse-git` and`identicurse`, respectively. In particular, is there any way to prevent the current git users ending up on the new non-git package, given the old git package and the new non-git package would have the same name?
Apologies if this is awful mailing-list etiquette (though my understanding is that, having waited a reasonable amount of time, it isn't), but I was wondering whether my original email (6 days ago now) had simply been overlooked, or actively ignored for breaking a rule which I am currently unaware of. If it was the latter, I'd appreciate knowing why (even if the reply, for whatever reason, had to be off-list) so I can avoid making the same mistake in future. Hm, since I'm writing a new mail already, I might as well add two small bits of information that I now realise I omitted last time. Firstly, I'm the maintainer of `identicurse-nogit`, but not of `identicurse` (and I have no intention of taking over the git one unless timttmy _really_ doesn't want to maintain it any more). Secondly, the package URLs are: identicurse-nogit: <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47432> identicurse-git: <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42734>
