Looking for advice on packaging newer version of ncdu

Hi all,

ncdu is a text-mode disk usage analyzer: https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu

I maintain the ncdu package in Fedora (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ncdu) which is currently ncdu 1.x (written in C).

There's a new Zig version (2.x) which I would like to also package. 2.x is being advertised as the "main" version these days (whereas the 1.x C version is described as "LTS" and "Lags a bit behind on the 2.x version"). So it feels like I should create a new "ncdu1" package for the 1.x version, and the existing ncdu package can become 2.x.

I'm not sure what to do (if anything) about allowing the two packages to be installed side-by-side:

* Call the 1.x binary "ncdu1"?
* Or call the 2.x binary "ncdu2"? (doesn't seem appropriate for what is now the "main" version)
* Or keep both binaries called "ncdu" (packages will conflict)?
* Use alternatives to allow both to be installed with "ncdu" pointing to one of them?

Any thoughts on how to proceed would be much appreciated!

Regards,

Richard
