Re-publish package as `cid` instead of `dart_cid` ? #10

Closed nelsonic closed 12 months ago

At present this package is published as dart_cid: https://pub.dev/packages/dart_cid

Meanwhile the cid package name is still available: https://pub.dev/packages/cid

why didn't we just use that in the first place? 🤷‍♂️ if the cid name was "taken" I would understand including "dart" in the name, but it doesn't make much sense to me to have it there if nobody else is using cid ... 🙃

Unfortunately you can't delete/republish a package under a different name (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17893867/how-to-rename-and-or-remove-a-pub-package).

Would it make sense to publish it as dart and make cid_dart point to cid, as suggested in the link above?

Sorry, Wasn't suggesting deleting the existing one. Just publishing the cid package as there’s no reason to have “dart” in the package name. 🤞🏼

While trying to publish the package as cid, I was prompted with this error.

Validating package... 
Publishing is forever; packages cannot be unpublished.
Policy details are available at https://pub.dev/policy

Do you want to publish cid 1.0.0 to https://pub.dev (y/N)? y
Uploading... (1.6s)
Package name `cid` is too similar to another active package: `ads` (https://pub.dev/packages/ads).

Going to file an e-mail request, as per https://github.com/dart-lang/pub-dev/issues/4045. Cc'd y'all in it.
