Is the process for renaming packages in fedora that have been renamed
upstream document on the wiki? I haven't been able to find any
description of our process in that case.


I think it happens often enough that the process should be written down.
As I understand it a new package review is not required in the case but
cvsadmin requests are needed to create the new package.

If you don't find this, can you draft a page under User:Petersen,
then ... well, I suppose you submit it to the Packaging SIG? I think
that group all have ACLs to update Packaging(.*).

Wouldn't the general renaming guideline apply?
