Rename kicad-testing on copr

[Jan Wichmann]

Hello,

i have a question, is it possible to call the rpm package kicad-testing
on copr kicad-testing?
At the moment you can only install the official kicad from Fedora and
kicad-nightly in parallel.
But it is not possible to install kicad official and kicad testing in
parallel. This creates a package conflict.

Hi Jan,

Even if the package is renamed, it would still not be able to be installed in parallel. The kicad-nightly COPR has special logic in it that renames and places files in different files, and it has some downsides to it (such as not being able to launch the PCB calculator or page layout tool from the project window). The kicad-testing COPR is designed to be a drop-in replacement for the actual kicad package, so we prefer not to do any of the file renaming/moving on it to preserve this similarity.
