Details

'perf' is the name of the python bindings to the linux 'perf' utility.

The upstream of this current python-perf package has resolved the naming conflict by renaming their project (https://github.com/vstinner/pyperf/commit/60eb936a87e287c578e85ab33b8b9a91d609ba53) to 'pyperf'.

We should rename this package to make room for the linux perf tool bindings.

An easy way out might be to drop this package; it's currently an orphan and only used as a checkdepends.


EDIT: I misread, it's not an orphan

right now that commit helps nothing as pyperf is already taken on pypi and upstream needs to do something.
we gonna wait until its solved properly and there is a way out, dropping is not an option its a widely used toolset to profile python.

Levente, what do you want we do about this naming issue?

@seblu: things seem to have sorted out upstream in the meanwhile. vstinner repo has been integrated into 'psf' which is the pyperf module holder in pypi. yippie.
ld;dr: gonna rename the package during this week and free up "python-perf", but we will need some "migration persion" which holds a replaces=() for some while to allow transparent migration path. If we dont want this, we need some news entry as people will end up with different packages for python-perf suddenly.

I prefer solutions which allow users to upgrade their arch system across long time period.

I see PKGBUILD replaces=() support versions, so what do you think of adding something like replaces=(python-perf<=1.6-5) in the new package. There no need for migration wait period, this could work as soon as the new package is released (and be kept forever).
Linux-tools base package is in version 5.11, so versioning is higher and the first release will be >1.6-5.
