Howdy folks -- I've received a request from the Debian and Ubuntu maintainers to rename one of my packages [1] so that it'd comply better with the Debian/Ubuntu naming standards. I'd like to help them out, and ideally I'd like to rename my package on PyPI to match the name that APT will use. However, as far as I can tell there's no real mechanism for renaming packages on PyPI: if I change the name, everyone's pip/buildout dependencies will just fail until they, too, update the name.
Ideally, I'd expect PyPI to give me a renaming mechanism that'd issue the proper redirects from the old name to the new. Apologies if I'm just not seeing a feature that's already there; if it's not, though, are there any plans for this in the future? Or any other bright ideas? Thanks!
