Renaming AUR package?

Hi,

I've just adopted a package (python-utidylib). A few months ago python3 was made default in Arch, with this, all the python2 packages were renamed from python-* to python2-*. The uTidyLib is only available for python2 so it would be convenient to rename python-utidylib to python2-utidylib.

How do I do that?

Regards,
Kraxor

Seems you have to upload the new one and ask for deletion of the old one.

Package Requests

There are three types of requests that can be filed in the Package Actions box on the package details page:

    Orphan Request: Request a package to be disowned, e.g. when the maintainer is inactive and the package has been flagged out-of-date for a long time.
    Deletion Request: Request a package to be removed from the Arch User Repository. Please do not use this if a package is broken and can be fixed easily. Instead, contact the package maintainer and file orphan request if necessary.
    Merge Request: Request a package to be merged into another one. Can be used when a package needs to be renamed or replaced by a split package.

If you want to discuss a request, you can use the aur-requests mailing list. However, please do not use that list to file requests.
