Questions about a duplicate package and naming of go/python/etc packages.

[Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli]

Hi,

In January 2023 I added the docker-registry package while the
go-github-com-docker-distribution package was there since 2018.

This is most likely due to the way I named my package: I followed the
other distributions (here Trisquel and Parabola) package name.

While the way to go is to merge all my changes in the
go-github-com-docker-distribution package, once done, people looking for
the docker-registry packages won't find it.

What is the best way to deal with this issue. Is there
something better than mentioning the usual package name in the package
description and/or synopsis? If not, what is the canonical way to do it
(if everybody does it in the same way, then it becomes grep-able and
more easily translatable)?

Also, is guix-devel the right place to ask these questions?

Denis.
