[Bioc-devel] Process to rename a bioconductor package

Thu, Apr 26, 2018 8:42 AM

Hi Adrian,

I?ve changed your package name from roma to ?OmaDB?. 

You should change your GitHub repo?s name as well "https://github.com/klarakaleb/roma? ?> https://github.com/klarakaleb/OmaDB. 

You can do this by, https://github.com/klarakaleb/roma/settings, and there will be an option to rename your repository.

Best,

Nitesh

Dear Lori,


thanks for helping with this. We appreciate your concern about the
ambiguity of the name. In our opinion the best option would be to rename
it to 'OmaDB' to emphases both OMA and the fact that it queries a database.

We would be very glad if you could initiate the process for rename then.


Best wishes & thanks for your help again!

Adrian

We can assist we renaming - 


However - we would not recommend "oma"  as that is also rather short
and ambiguous, especially considering that is the
exact abbreviated name of the database your package accesses - 


Could you come up with perhaps a more unambigious and meaningful name?  


for example here are some existing rest api for databases:

KEGGREST : Client-side REST access to KEGG

goTools:  Functions for Gene Ontology database

IMPCdata:  Retrieves data from IMPC database
InterMineR:  R Interface with InterMine-Powered Databases

BgeeDB:  Annotation and gene expression data retrieval from Bgee database


maybe something along those lines?

Dear all,

we would like to rename or own bioconductor package 'roma' --> 'oma' (as
there exists another software tool with that name that could be
misleading). So far the package is only in the development version. Is
there a standard process how to proceed with such requests?

Thanks!
Adrian
