Please merge these two duplicate jars

[bdesham]

I renamed my project from bdesham/clj-plist to com.github.bdesham/clj-plist and uploaded a new version. Now there are two separate entries in Clojars for this project. Could a maintainer please merge these (under the new name, com.github.bdesham/clj-plist)? Thank you!

What do you mean when you say 'merge'? We probably can't delete the older one because it looks like other people are/have been using it. It sounds like #284 is what you're after. In the meantime, you could set the description to something like DEPRECATED: Use [com.github.bdesham/clj-plist] to clear up the confusion over the two projects?

Hmm… I tried to push to the old project with the deprecation notice but I’m getting “access denied”. Looking at the project page on Clojars again, I see that someone else pushed the previous version; as far as Clojars is concerned this is not my repository. (I’m not even in the “bdesham” group.) Can this be remedied?

We'll have to get in touch with the other person and get them involved at least - see https://github.com/clojars/clojars-web/wiki/About#what-do-i-do-if-someones-taken-my-group-name.

I believe it is @billrobertson42 - hopefully that mention will get him involved.

It’s been about a week and there hasn’t been a response. Fortunately, I think this change of ownership should be uncontroversial :-) The linked wiki page mentions transferring a group

• if the project's canonical source repository (eg github) is under an account you can demonstrate you control
• copyright notices or documentation embedded in previous releases of a project with your name and email address

Both of these conditions are true in this case: you can see that the bdesham/clj-plist project links to this GitHub project, which is part of my account. The README also mentions my name and website.

I've just sent Bill a quick email, if we don't hear back in the next day or two we should be able to add @bdesham to the group. Thanks for following up!

[bdesham]

@danielcompton Have you heard anything about this?

[danielcompton]

Nope, no response, @tobias are you happy to add @bdesham to the bdesham group?

[tobias]

@bdesham - I've added you to the bdesham group (see https://clojars.org/groups/bdesham). Thanks for your patience!

[bdesham]

No problem. Thanks!
