Hi fellow contributors,

Upstream has reported a request for minizip naming change from "minizip" to
"minizip-ng" (minizip-ng is the official name of the upstream package right
now).

As Fedora should match the upstream naming, I believe this change is
necessary.

Another naming change is required for the "minizip-compat" package which is
the subpackage of the "zlib" package. Upstream requests that we should
rename "minizip-compat" to "minizip".

I agree with renaming this package as well, however, this could lead to
multiple confusions maybe even conflicts for the users. The problem with
renaming this package right after renaming the "minizip-ng" could be that
the users may be confused about which package is the right "minizip" for
them.

I believe we could rename the "minizip-compat" to the "minizip" after some
larger time period so every package that requires "minizip" changes the
requirements to "minizip-ng" and there is no confusion anymore.

The first step I want to do is to create a Fedora Change, which contains
this whole process and is well communicated within the community.

This email serves as a heads-up and also opens a possibility for any tips
that you can give me with this change. This is my first time doing a change
like this so it may have some bumps along the way, but I'm willing to learn
and improve, so feel free to give me any advice you think could benefit me
with this process.

Thank you for understanding and sorry for quite a long email.
Lukas
