Change the name of a library

Hi there,

I’m currently working on the next revision of the Luos library.
I would like to rename this lib from Luos to Luos_engine or something and keep the history.

Is it possible?

I’m not sure if the PlatformIO is redirect-capable if we rename the library.

CC @ivankravets any ideas (if you’re available)?

Hi,

The package has been renamed. All your customers who previously used Luos name are affected. Please ask them to update their project dependencies.

Whaou!

That was fast!
To be honest, I wasn’t ready. We have to update all our documentation and examples first.
As I understand there is no redirections from luos/Luos to luos/Luos_engine?

Yes, no redirection. Should we revert back the changes?

Yes please @ivankravets

Now I know how it’s working, I will let you know when we are ready :wink:

Sorry about that.

@ivankravets I was wondering, instead of renaming the lib could it be possible to duplicate it with a new name and keep both of them?
We could add a warning deprecated message at compile time for the old ones and this could allow our users to make a smooth transition.

I don’t want you to make it right now, I just want to know if this is possible.
