Hello,
A package I maintain has changed his name (pyidm became firedm) and I am wondering how I should change the package name. Only changing the pkgname is enough or should I create a new one and merge the first one into it?
From what I already read on this mailing list not so long ago, you have to
create a new package, telling that it provides the old one. https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2020-December/036053.html

In the past, I've done this via the latter method. New package, set up the pkgbuild, etc. (Make sure the pkgname matches the name change) then file a merge request in the AUR web UI.
