@codemutation You intend to change from a -git package to a -bin package?

Create the new package like you did the first. Then open a merge request to keep the comment history. The existing comment history wouldn't be relevant to the new package though, because it's about renaming the package.

What needs to be done to rename it to polyglot-translate-bin while keeping this comment history?

@codemutation Do you intend to rename this package? Do you need help with the process?

Create a new package with the new name. Then open a deletion or merge request against this package. I don't see anything here that needs to be preserved. Since it's only a week old, there probably aren't many users.

If you want, while this package is waiting for deletion, you could turn it into a metapackage that redirects to the new package. That is what polyglot-bin is currently doing.

Thank you for your help, @xiota.

How do I rename this package to polyglot-translate-git, keeping existing history and metadata?

Perhaps this package should switch to something like polyglot-translate-git or polyglot-translator-git because there have been many unrelated packages using the name polyglot.

  • polyglot-winboard-git - Among the first, a chess program, recently switched to providing polyglot-winboard.

  • polyglot - Previously a chess program. Then a python library for some API. Now no longer on AUR.

  • polyglot-bin - A ChatGPT translation tool. In process of switching to polyglot-ai-bin.
