[aur-general] Renaming nimrod-git to nim-git
Hello. The Nimrod programming language has been renamed to Nim, so I'd like to rename the nimrod-git package. I accidentally created nim-git though, but the history should be kept.
I'll clarify: I want the history of nimrod-git to remain, hence why creating a new package called nim-git was a mistake. On 1 January 2015 at 21:44, Erik Johansson Andersson <exetoc@gmail.com> wrote:

It was not a mistake. Packages on the AUR cannot be renamed. You need to create the new package then request it be merged into the new one, which preserves the comments and votes. And please don't top post. Doug

This is being brought up on this mailing list at least once per week. Delete/merge requests are now filed via the AUR web interface using the "File Request" link on the subject package's page. -- Ivan Shapovalov / intelfx /
