I think we should move the repo basically now. Because GitHub leaves a redirect in place (both for Git protocols and at the HTTP level), this has basically no downside. I would probably either publish 0.24 under both names or publish a 0.23.1 with rename notices in the README and publish 0.24.0 only under the new name -- I'd want the rename notice in the READMEs to look different for old vs new name crates. It also seems confusing if Hickory 0.25 is effectively the same code as trust-dns 0.24 (is that what you're planning?).

yes, that was effectively my plan. I thought it might give people a simpler cut-over point. That is, there are potentially breaking changes in 0.24, and so they can upgrade without the name changes, that might have some of their own confusion. I also thought we could use 0.25 in Hickory to go through and remove deprecated interfaces.

Yes, I was planning to update the notices for the back references on the first publish of Hickory crates.

I think you're correct about the moving of the repo, I think I can take care of that today. Though my preference is to publish 0.24 just in case there are some delays due to a move (keys, etc) that could stop that from going through.

FYI, @djc and I discussed in more detail. We decided that given the name changes themselves are breaking changes, it doesn't make sense to deploy 0.24 to trust-dns names. Instead, 0.24 will be deployed to Hickory DNS names. There will be a final 0.23.1 release to the trust-dns names that is just a notice of the branding changes.

I'm planning to do this later today. That is,

• Existing trust-dns crates will be published as 0.23.1
• I will then move and rename the trust-dns repo to https://github.com/hickory-dns/hickory-dns
• Then I will publish the first release of Hickory DNS as 0.24.0

For reference, the new crates will be:

FYI: #2069, we're posting unmaintained notices for the non-feature change updates after 0.23.1 and 0.23.2. This should give folks notices that the project has been rebranded after 0.23 without breaking builds until the they update dependencies.

One task left, I still need to update the sites for Hickory DNS domains.
