Duplicate package name for a helmPlugin

Development

Hi all - I need some guidance as I can’t find a proper stance on this in the documentation, and there’s a few opinions here but nothing decisive.
I wanted to add a package for a Helm plugin named helm-schema (dadav/helm-schema is the GitHub repo). Just my usual luck, a couple of weeks ago a PR has been merged for a different project named helm-schema (repo losisin/helm-values-schema-json). Both project have a similar count of GH stars, so I’d assume they’re equally used or - at least - have seen a similar community engagement.
What name should I give the dadav/helm-schema project if I were to add it as a package, as I originally intended to do?

There is nothing decisive. Just make it clear that it’s different. One option would be to have the maintainer name at the end (-dadav) since the two projects appear to basically do the same thing.

I’d also discuss with the maintainers of the existing package to see if they would also rename.

you mean so both helm-schema plugins have a name suffix? I’d be fine with that

So it would be:

  1. helm-schema-losisin
  2. helm-schema-dadav

That’s the option I could think of, yes.

Appreciate the inputs, will follow up with that idea. Thanks!
