Renaming of new package that has an ITP bugreport (ITP: task - Bug#531587)
As I forgot to CC the ITP bug to the list I want to do this now afterwards and include a question:
The bugreport is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=531587
After an initial view on the package Charles Plessy suggested to rename
the package to avoid confusion with the existing package "tasks". I
have done this now after getting in touch with the upstream project
(actually I contributed to project). The upstream maintainers are
planning to rename the project in the future to "taskwarrior" and it is OK to use this name already for the debian package.
So the renamed package is now called taskwarrior and has been uploaded
to mentors.debian.org (together with a RFS to the debain.-mentors
mailiniglist).
To superseed the old upload I increased the version number of the
package to 1.7.0-2 while renaming it. I still refer to the original ITP
bugreport in the changelog file and explain why the package was renamed.
Would that be sufficient?
Or should I file a new ITP with the correct packagename or change the
subject of the current ITP bugreport by maling control@bugs.ddebian.org
with the retitle command.
Greetings,
Federico "Fredde" Hernandez
