Publish to `crates.io` as `lolcate`

[BartMassey]

Is there some reason this isn't on crates.io as lolcate? If not, it would be great to have it there under that name.

Edit: Found issue #3.

Edit: Apparently I can't read.

Hey @BartMassey,

Thing is, I'm not sure about the policy and implications of renaming a crate on crates.io. I could take a look though. If you have a clue about it, please comment further on. Cheers

I don't know either. Hopefully somebody who does will comment here.

So i asked the folks at crates.io, and here's the response I got:

We do not currently support renaming crates, in order to keep the registry as immutable as possible. What you can do is republish with the new name, yank all the versions of the old name, and publish one more version to the old name with a description directing people to the new name.

At least it's feasible, but it's not straightforward either. Do you think it's worth the trouble, @BartMassey ?

[BartMassey]

Naw. Let's just leave it alone. Thanks for looking into it!

Euh, yes I also prefer

cargo install  lolcate

above

cargo install lolcate-rs

I think it is wise to save the rename for a major release (or breaking change) and then add lolcate to https://crates.io/ plus updating lolcate-rs with pointers to the successor.
