[aur-general] OK! changing a PKG's name and retaining votes/comments
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!

I think it would be handy to use kernel instead of kernel26 more similar to the other distributions red hat: kernel; kernel-smp debian: linux-image opensuse: kernel ubuntu: linux-image gentoo: sys-kernel (folder)

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?

i'm not aware that AUR can handle renames without losing votes/comments. Is it a new feature ? -- Ionuț

I think the consensus was that we were willing to migrate comments to new packages, but that we wouldn't do flat out renames. Either way, there was never anything committed. d

This is still on my TODO list. I'll probably implement this once my development box is up again (it died some days ago). Further details should be discussed on aur-dev, please.

...aand it works great! So guys, spread the word, the feature is there, so if your package needs a rename, please mention it so the TU merges the packages. -- GPG/PGP ID: 8AADBB10

So could I request deletion of a new package (linux-x for example) and renaming of kernel26-x to linux-x?

You upload the new package (linux-x in your example), and then ask for the old package (kernel26-x) to be deleted and have its comments and votes merged into the new one.

I think it would be handy to use kernel instead of kernel26
more similar to the other distributions
red hat: kernel; kernel-smp debian: linux-image opensuse: kernel ubuntu: linux-image gentoo: sys-kernel (folder)
arch: linux Already been decided....
