We can assist we renaming -

However - we would not recommend "oma"  as that is also rather short and 
ambiguous, especially considering that is the exact abbreviated name of the 
database your package accesses -


Could you come up with perhaps a more unambigious and meaningful name?

for example here are some existing rest api for databases:

KEGGREST : Client-side REST access to KEGG

goTools:  Functions for Gene Ontology database

IMPCdata:  Retrieves data from IMPC database
InterMineR:  R Interface with InterMine-Powered Databases

BgeeDB:  Annotation and gene expression data retrieval from Bgee database


maybe something along those lines?

Subject: [Bioc-devel] Process to rename a bioconductor package

Dear all,

we would like to rename or own bioconductor package 'roma' --> 'oma' (as
there exists another software tool with that name that could be
misleading). So far the package is only in the development version. Is
there a standard process how to proceed with such requests?

Thanks!
Adrian
