Name clash with package on pypi #372

Open ellert opened 5 months ago

Torch recently became available on Fedora, so I created a package review for baler in Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2271996

The reviewer has pointed out that there already is another package called baler in pypi: https://pypi.org/project/baler/

Do you have any idea how to handle this? I am not an expert on this, but the Fedora guideline page linked to by the reviewer says: "If your package’s project name conflicts with a different package on PyPI, change the project name."

I found https://pypi.org/project/baler-compressor/ which refers back to this github repo as its homepage. But the versions don't match. The pypi project has version 0.0.6, which doesn't match any version tag on this repository. And the downloaded code from pypi doesn't match the code in github, though it seems to be based on it. I am very confused now.
