How does one go about renaming a package on Hackage? I finally figured out a name for Thingie, and I'd like to change the package name to reflect that, so that future versions look to the new package and not the old one.
I don't believe there is one, yet (destructive updates like that are not very haskelly). I think the usual approach is to request roconnor delete the old packages, or to just bump the Thingie version number and modify the synopsis/description to tell people to use the new name. - -- gwern -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREKAAYFAklSXHcACgkQvpDo5Pfl1oIX0wCgntimtgMAKYf1pZ39/Au7gPTD LKYAnjcGLGuRmCacHWFcH5X2neNkOW5G =NR9r -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
