changed gem name, please link them
Adriano Brito Mitre
Hi.
I have just "renamed" (downcased) the cartesian gem (https://rubygems.org/gems/Cartesian
-> https://rubygems.org/gems/cartesian).
Could you please "merge" the pages together (history, etc) and
remove the old page, please? In case it is really not possible, I
would ask to just remove the old Cartesian page.
Best regards,
Adriano

Hi, you can do this with
gem yank. More here:http://help.rubygems.org/kb/gemcutter/removing-a-published-rubygem

Ok, I've yanked all versions but how can I make the old-named gem page now
link (or even automatically redirect) to the new-named gem?
The whole point is to let the gem-user know that the gem has not been
abandoned, it has only had is name changed.

There's not really a way to do this now. Even if you did, it would only be for the site itself, and not for the RubyGems client since it does not support this kind of renaming/relinking.
If you're up for it, patches are welcome: http://github.com/rubygems/gemcutter :) This is seriously the first request for this functionality I've heard though.

You can also release a final version of Cartesian that either depends on cartesian or has a post-install message saying something like "this gem has been renamed and is no longer supported or developed, gem install cartesian (lowercase) instead" or both.

Thanks for the great suggestion, Eric! I have just finished implementing it and it works flawlessly.
In the process I have found what might be a bug in the stats page: graphs of yanked versions are omitted from the overview mode. (To circumvent that, I have just unyanked all previous versions.)

Adriano: Not sure what you mean by the yanked graphs bug, can you provide a screenshot?

It means that the graphs/curves of yanked versions are omitted from the
overview mode, although they are visible when specific versions are
selected.
Recipe to reproduce the described behaviour:
1. create a gem and push it (say v0.0.1)
2. download it as many time as you would like
3. push a new version for the same gem (say v0.0.2)
4. download the new version as many time as you would like
5. see the stats->overview, it should show both versions
6. then yank the old version (0.0.1 in the example)
7. now the stats->overview only show the curve for the new version (i..e,
it omits the curve of the first version)
The only reason I am not attaching a screenshot it because to take it I
would have to (re)yank the gem, but I will definitely do it if for some
reason you can not reproduce the behaviour.

Sorry, this comment was buried in our spam inbox.
Yeah I'm totally unhappy with our graphs, still. I'd like to remove them and just provide an API for others to consume and produce better graphs with.
