Consider renaming crate

Noah2610 opened this issue 5 years ago · 6 comments

cargo install ld46

is cool, but I think it would be better if the crate's name contains "Fermi Paradox".
Maybe ld46-fermi-paradox?

I'm okay with this, but is that possible on crates.io? I couldn't find any way to rename a published crate..

I don't think it is possible to delete/rename a crate on crates.io, but I think it's still better to re-publish it with a name like ld46-fermi-paradox, instead of just ld46.
Even if the old ld46 crate stays up.
You could yank it from crates.io, but I don't think it really matters.

Isn't that worse in this case though? Because that means there will be 2 crates.

However you like, I thought if the crate is up on crates.io, it should include the name.
But if you don't really need it up, then don't worry about it!
It's your call, no worries either way :)

I do agree though, I just don't like having 2 crates doing the same thing. Too bad I can't yank a crate.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I totally get that, no problem!
