[SOLVED] Rename package in AUR

Hello,

I had recently submitted a package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fleche/) and I realized (as pointed out by an user) that I should have named it fleche-themes, instead of just fleche. I would like to fix this mistake, but since I don't see an option to rename the package (not sure if I am missing something), I think the procedure is to remove the current one, and create a new one with the correct name.

Looking forward to your support in this matter.

Best regards,
Ridwan

Re: [SOLVED] Rename package in AUR

The procedure you describe is correct, but you'll need the help of TUs for it.

Upload the new correctly named package, then send a mail to aur-general mailinglist https://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/aur-general asking to merge the old pacakge into the new one (merging preserves comments & votes) , or just removal of the old one.
