Fedora's official repos ship a package named `neuron` — the NEURON
neural-simulation environment from Yale (see
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/neuron). Having our own `neuron`
in the helexa COPR caused dnf5 to silently no-op `dnf install neuron`
because of the name collision, even with the COPR repo enabled and
keys imported. The only workarounds were full NEVRA (`dnf install
neuron-0.1.12-1.fc43.x86_64`) or a local file install — neither
acceptable for end-users.
Rename the RPM package to `helexa-neuron`. Keep binary (/usr/bin/neuron),
systemd unit (neuron.service), system user (neuron), and config dir
(/etc/neuron) unchanged — those are project-local contexts where the
short name is unambiguous. Follows Fedora subpackage-style naming
except with a vendor prefix rather than a parent-package prefix,
because neuron is an independent package from cortex (installed on
different hosts) and neither depends on the other.
Changes:
- neuron.spec -> helexa-neuron.spec (git rename)
- Name: neuron -> helexa-neuron (with comment explaining why)
- CI: srpm-neuron job now builds helexa-neuron-VERSION.tar.gz with the
matching top-level dir prefix, publishes to helexa/helexa-neuron COPR
- CI: bump-version job references helexa-neuron.spec
- CLAUDE.md: install instructions updated
Old helexa/neuron COPR project can be deleted after the first
helexa/helexa-neuron build lands.
