Directiva de Renombrado de Paquete

When you wish to rename a package, you must request a re-review of your package, as described in Package Review Policy. In this review request, you must state that this is a re-review request for a package rename, including the old package name. The reviewer of the package must explicitly acknowledge this fact.

The reviewer must check the package for the proper Obsoletes and Provides as specified in Packaging Guidelines section Renaming/Replacing or Removing Existing Packages. They must explicitly acknowledge that they have done so. A package rename without a clean upgrade path must not be accepted.

Una vez finalizada la revisión, el paquete renombrado debe importarse a dist-git como un paquete nuevo. El paquete anterior puede retirarse siguiendo el Proceso de Retirada de Paquete.
