[aur-requests] Package rename request
I have a package in the AUR (linux-macbook-pro) that includes patches for suspending support on the MacBook Pro. It also includes patches that I backported from the master branch of the linux kernel which fixes a bunch of issues with CPU frequency scaling. I've been testing this package on my MacBook Air and confirmed that suspending and the fixes with the intel_pstate driver also work on this hardware. I wanted to change the package name from linux-macbook-pro to just linux-macbook but it appears that a package by that name already exists in the AUR even though it doesn't show up when searching for it: 16:39:13 borg ~/Documents/Git $ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/linux-macbook.git Cloning into 'linux-macbook'... remote: Counting objects: 53, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (36/36), done. remote: Total 53 (delta 24), reused 40 (delta 17) Unpacking objects: 100% (53/53), done. Checking connectivity... done. 16:39:20 borg ~/Documents/Git $ cd linux-macbook/ 16:39:24 borg (master) ~/Documents/Git/linux-macbook $ ls PKGBUILD change-default-console-loglevel.patch linux.preset config.x86_64 config bluetooth.patch linux.install Can anyone help with this or point me in the correct direction? Thanks in advance.

Apparently, that package already existed before and was deleted in December 2015, see [1]. You should be able to clone the Git repository, add new commits and push to resurrect the package. After that, file a merge request to merge linux-macbook-pro into linux-macbook. Regards, Lukas [1] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/2015-December/009657.html
