I just posted a review for avl (the Aerodynamic and flight-dynamic
analysis of rigid aircrafts package) [1], and the reviewer noticed that
it conflicts with the retired avl package (the AVL tree manipulation
library). How should one proceed in such situations? Does the old
repository needs to be deleted before the new one is created?

Please do not reuse package names for unrelated software. It is quite confusing and can interfere with all kinds of tracking/package mapping efforts.

Ok, I guess I'll go with avl-analysis or something similar. It would probably be more user friendly to rename the the existing avl to libavl, but I take that again interferes with package mapping efforts?

Thanks,
Sandro
