Their libeio seems to be 5 years old, ours date from July 2010. As for being internal it is not. Eio is a public API part of EFL and to be used by anyone doing asynchronous IO with or without a UI. Except Ephoto and Elementary, I don't think there is any other open source user of it. Most of the user I know of are proprietary application and would not be using Fedora. > My question is if you, as a Eio upstream, would like to fix this > conflict in the library name.

It is a public and supported API on our side, changing the naming would break existing application on every other distribution. I don't really see a solution to this problem at this stage. Sadly it is almost 3 years to late... > Sorry if this question has been asked already but I was not able to find > it in archive. I think the question was raised maybe once in the past, I may be mistaken, for another distribution. I think the conclusion was to drop that other eio library as it didn't have any application using it in their repository.
