New review comment by Chocimier on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/31998#discussion_r729960764 Comment: We will need to still carry package of old name in order to provide updates for people already using it. That leads to xbps-query -Rs yamllint [-] python3-yamllint-1.26.3_1 Python 3 linter for YAML files - transitional dummy package [-] yamllint-1.26.3_1 Python 3 linter for YAML files , what isn't really better than xbps-query -Rs yamllint [-] python3-yamllint-1.15.0_4 Python3 linter for YAML files More, this particular proposal opens precedent to do `{python3,ruby,...}-foo` <-> `foo` rename churn, where we will have to judge if given package is library or command. Existing transitional packages are either upstream renames, former functional packages that got removed (py2), or meaningful change (lua versioning).
