Re: Rename package? (Re: Request to join DPMT and RFS: python-simpy/3.0.7-1 [ITA])



Hi,

Sorry for the delay as well.

This is a good point. Anyone that is using the current python-simpy for
local work or for any other software would have a completely broken
software after upgrade. I was assuming people would have to migrate
eventually anyway. But as it was pointed out before, since the python
module was renamed to lowercase, we could just let the two packages
coexist, so as to not blindside the user. On the other hand, simpy 2 is
dead and completely unmaintained.

But there is also the issue of mgltools, which is non-free and
officially uses simpy 1.8, so I think we have our hands tied here.

At this point, making the two packages co-installable seems to me like
the better approach.

I was going to put it on svn, even if only to make review easier, but I
got busy and I haven't used svn in many years since I started using git.
So to me it would be a lot better to just put it straight to git. I
doubt this qualifies as a good enough reason, so I'll just put it on svn
as soon as I get a little free time.

Unless we decide to make simpy 3 a new package, in this case I believe I
could put it on git already, correct? Or should this renamed package
preserve history of the previous simpy package?
