Renaming a package in Hex

[Luís Ferreira]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a preferred way to go about renaming a package in Hex. Is there a way supported by hex?

Thanks

It's not supported because it could break existing users of your package. I would recommend keeping your old package name but if you really need to rename it you can publish a new package. You can also optionally push a new release of your old package with an updated package description that points users to the new package.

Yes, that makes sense, thanks.
