Subject: [PATCH] gnu: Remove duplicated package show-me-the-key.
Date: Mon,  7 Apr 2025 13:17:53 -0400

This package is a duplicate of "showmethekey".  Upstream seems to prefer
naming the package without hyphens in the name.

* gnu/packages/xdisorg.scm (show-me-the-key): Delete variable.

Instead of simply removing it, can you use ‘deprecated-package’ so this
name becomes an alias for the other one?

(You need to do this in the file where ‘showmethekey’ is defined.)

TIA,
Ludo’.

This package is a duplicate of "showmethekey".  Upstream seems to prefer
naming the package without hyphens in the name.

* gnu/packages/xdisorg.scm (show-me-the-key): Delete variable.
* gnu/packages/video.scm (show-me-the-key): Add as a deprecated alias for
showmethekey.
