I was thinking about renaming the conflicting file (something like aws.rb -> ruby-aws.rb). However, after I checked that they both provide access to the same services, I believe that it would be better to simply Conflict [1] them and let the user choose which one suits him or her better. Some scripts might be specifically using one of them so I wouldn't remove any of them from the archive. If no one has a better idea, I'll update ruby-aws accordingly Regards, T.
