The name of the directory containing the PKGBUILD should also match the pkgname." Cheers On Thu, Jul 14, 2016 at 5:12 PM, Carl George wrote:

The module name is "git", thus the package name should be "python-git". Feel free to disagree with me, but I'm going to keep maintaining my package regardless. Don't merge it.

Ah, I missed the python package guidelines.

I will file a delete request for my package and I'll notify other maintainers that are currently using python-gitpython to use python-git instead.

Thank you!

You import 'git' in Python, but the module name is clearly GitPython. I don't see any reason to have it named 'python-git'. This is completely misleading with VCS packages, thus 'python-gitpython' makes more sense to me.

Could you re-upload python-gitpython, since as Bartłomiej said, the module is called GitPython? -- Sincerely, Johannes Löthberg PGP Key ID: 0x50FB9B273A9D0BB5 https://theos.kyriasis.com/~kyrias/
