Hey guys,
I decided to ask if he would be willing to add an epoc tag as Ken suggested

Here is his response
Renaming just the package doesn't solve problems of conflicting files.
Libraries and binaries provided by the two packages will have the same
name, so it's not possible to have both installed beacuse one conflicts
with the other.
The idea of just install a pre-release version without

I don't see the reason for someone to install and use two versions of
the same thing and I think that renaming the package other than project
