To my experience, renaming a source package is painless. The pain used to be for FTP masters, but now even that is automated nowadays (with their "clean cruft" script, whatever they called it...). I did rename source packages like oslo-config -> python-oslo.config and oslo.messaging -> python-oslo.messaging, just for the sake of consistency. It was no problem at all, and when I contacted FTP masters, they told me that nobody had anything to do to deal with it. > * Maybe even schedule the transition with the release team We don't have enough of these in Python. More often than not, disruptive uploads aren't coordinated, and it breaks the world. Though in this case, since Barry is proposing hacks to support both names (thanks, that's very much welcome!). So it will be smooth, and we can slowly open, then close bugs, slowly. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
