Hello everyone kodee loving,

I recently took over ownership of the kotlin-csv repository from @doyaaaaaken, and I’m planning to change the package namespace to reflect the new ownership. However, I’m concerned about how this change might affect the existing artifacts on Maven Central.

Is it possible to transfer the existing Maven Central artifacts to the new namespace, or is there a recommended process for handling this situation? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the related GitHub issue for more context. Feel free to comment on the issue or here if you have any insights.

Thank you in advance for your help.

You could add a relocation POM https://docs.gradle.org/8.8/userguide/publishing_maven.html#publishing_maven:relocation

Without any really really good reason you can’t change published artifacts on maven central, including its name/id. Just create a new version and add a relocation pom.

Thank you for the valuable advice! It seems like the best approach is to increment the version in both the old and new namespaces, and add a relocation POM to the old Maven Central repository. This will help ensure a smooth transition for users to the new namespace.
I appreciate your help.
