Hi,
renaming requires a re-review of packages.
I think, this step should become synchronized with other packages, such
as squirrelmail -> php-squirrelmail (and other php packages, such as
renaming cups-php to php-cups. Naming should be implemented
constistently throughout the distribution. Could we use this renaming
to implement any other renaming of packages without requiring re-reviews?
Maybe the described solution via virtual provides could solve the
actual problem. Newer django-packages should be packaged as
python-django-foobar
The latter would just need a provenpackager and some time to adjust
requires and provides of packages.
Disadvantage would be ballooning of the requirement solver tree in a
package manager.
Thoughts?
