The whole point of my post was NOT about what to call packages or to ignite a debate... it was about how to use the new functionality in the AUR to move/rename/whatever existing packages to newly named ones. To quote the relevant section of my original post:
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').
i'm not aware that AUR can handle renames without losing votes/comments. Is it a new feature ? -- Ionuț
