Renaming millejoh/emacs-ipython-notebook for submission to melpa (original) (raw)

I hesitate to call tkf/emacs-ipython-notebook abandonware at this point, but certainly tkf has become too occupied (at least that is what I hope has happened) to continue actively maintaining this project.

There is a fork at https://github.com/millejoh/emacs-ipython-notebook that I am trying to keep actively compatible with the most recent version of IPython. For the moment anyone who wishes to use ein with IPython versions > 2.0 must download the code. To make this process easier I want to create a downloadable package that is easy to access through Emacs package manager.

I see my options as either 1) updating ein's recipe in melpa to point to my repository, or 2) create a new recipe in melpa, with a new name for ein.

My fork breaks compatibility with early versions of IPython, so option 2 might be the better solution. I would be happy to hear opinions on the matter. Also any suggestions for a new name would be appreciated. So far I have come up with either ein2 or zwei.
