libeio vs. Eio - rename one of them in all distributions?

[Jan Kaluža]

Hi,

I wanted to improve Phusion Passenger package in Fedora and found out 
that it requires (and currently bundles) libeio [1]. I wanted to 
unbundle libeio [1], but found out it conflicts with Eio [2] from 
Englightenment world.

Both libraries provides libeio library and therefore conflicts with each 
other. I've contacted both upstreams ([3], [4]) and discussed the 
possible renaming of one library, but unfortunately they are not 
interested in renaming.

In this case, Fedora Packaging Guidelines suggest writing to this list 
to cooperate on possible future renaming of one of these libraries to 
overcome conflict.

I have found out that there is RFE for libeio package in Debian [5] 
(although quite old). But I think distributions (and maintainers) 
currently providing Phusion Passenger could be interested in unbundling 
libeio [1] in their packages.

 From what I've found out it looks like libeio [1] is not included in 
many distributions yet, so I think this is good candidate for renaming. 
I was thinking about some names (like libev-eio), but I would like to 
know more ideas from others, because I'm not good at choosing names :).
