Naming conflict

[john-h-k]

Hi,

Just noticed you seem to have the exact same name as my repo, https://github.com/john-h-k/MathSharp. This could potentially be an issue for both of us?

Hello, John. I see. Seems like I have to change it. By the way, am I right that functional of the two libraries is completely different? Mine is for some algebraic expressions (e. g. find derivative of a function). пт, 6 дек. 2019 г. в 23:43, John <notifications@github.com>:

Yeah, functionally they are different. Mine is a vector/matrix hardware accelerated style one (but yours is completely awesome! :)).
If you would change the name, I would massively appreciate it, as MathSharp already has reasonable traction, and it causes particular conflicts on Nuget, where you currently have the MathSharp package name

[WhiteBlackGoose]

Ok, I will change it in a very short time. Just curious: what conflict are you talking about? I cannot find MathSharp package on Nuget (besides mine).
//so sad to realize that those 400 downloads were only thanks to the naming conflict... :(

[john-h-k]

I am sure your project will rapidly pick up speed as it is very cool - just not ideal to have people going "I am trying to download MathSharp and am downloading this unrelated project instead" and asking me about it :))

[WhiteBlackGoose]

Sorry :). The project's been renamed

[john-h-k]

Could you delete the project so it is possible to make the MathSharp nuget public? As yours is still listed, just deprecated. Thanks in advance

[WhiteBlackGoose]

As I just found out, the package cannot deleted permanently from nuget. I unlisted it. If you still can't publish your package, contact me via Discord (Oryp4ik#0120) ("chatting" on github is not very efficient) or suggest your way to communicate.

Edit: sorry, I will try to message them directly to ask them to delete the package.

[john-h-k]

You can transfer ownership of the MathSharp package to me, and I can work from there :)

[Perksey]

You'll have to contact support to have them permenantly delete the package no matter what, as John will be unable to push the actual MathSharp 1.0 as that version number has already been taken.

[WhiteBlackGoose]

I have already sent an email to Nuget.

[Perksey]

Thanks, let us know how it goes :)

[WhiteBlackGoose]

Removed. Let me know if you are fine

[Perksey]

Unfortunately, it has not been permenantly removed and has only been delisted as we are still unable to claim the package name. We're going to have to wait until NuGet Support gets back to us.

@john-h-k, Im ready to transfer ownership to you. Do I transfer it to johnkellyoxford@gmail.com?
And I can't delete it at all. Nuget support responds with "transfer ownership".
