Can I rename a package?

[liuyxpp]

Currently, it seems rename a package is not allowed. I get the following message:

...
HEAD is now at 0f6f130 New version: MyPackageNew v0.1.0

Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.
ERROR: Changing package name is not supported.

I cannot find any help to resolve this issue. How can I register the renamed package? Do I have to delete the old package manually? Thanks!

The easiest way to rename a package is to change both its name and its uuid. The latter means it's really a different package, but what goals do you have with keeping the uuid that wouldn't work with changing it?
