In this case it's not really a fork, it's a problem with our naming convention. We should stop making exceptions for gems whose names start with "ruby[-_]*, and make ruby_foo become ruby-ruby-foo, not just ruby-foo. IMO it would be better to fix the name of existing package now instead of postponing this. It would be - rename ruby-parser to ruby-ruby-parser - introduce parser as ruby-parser, adding Breaks: against versions of the packages that currently dependend on ruby-parser wanting the "ruby_parser" gem. $ reverse-depends ruby-parser Reverse-Depends * gitlab * obs-api * roodi * ruby-html2haml * ruby-ruby2ruby Those packages would need to be adjusted to depend on ruby-ruby-parser instead.
