Hello everybody

I would like to rename the  'SpoonScript Plugin'. From previous posts I think the procedure is to put up the plugin under the new name and then mark the old one as 'deprecated'.

The plugin is hosted here: https://github.com/turboapps/jenkins. However, previously that caused naming problems, so I've added a fork with a better name here: https://github.com/gamlerhart/turbo-script-plugin

All in all:

   GitHub plugin name: turboscript
   Jenkins Developer ID: gamlor
   GitHub repository: https://github.com/turboapps/jenkins  or https://github.com/gamlerhart/turbo-script-plugin

Thanks for your help.

That's more the procedure we have to go through when people needlessly
change their `artifactId` in their POM and make a release.

It's not entirely clear to me what's going on here. I *guess* you work
with the original spoonscript-plugin author (pmateusz)? I don't think
we'd really want to deprecate any plugins without hearing from them
first.. :)

If you want to rename the plugin, the easiest thing to do isn't to
delete existing plugins and wiki pages and create everything again. You
can just update the `<name>` tag in the `pom.xml` file, rename the wiki
page, and update the `<url>` tag in your POM.

In this case the `artifactId` would remain as `spoonscript`, but this
isn't really user-visible within Jenkins. Plus that would allow
existing users to upgrade seamlessly to the renamed version.

Regards,
Chris
