Re-publish package with capital name doesn't work

[Ethella]

I'm the owner of Magic-sdk package

published Magic-sdk first package CocoaPods/Specs@940b9f2
Remove Magic-sdk the only package CocoaPods/Specs@dc2e10c

Try to publish with the same name with capital letters, and here's what I get:

$ pod trunk push Magic-SDK.podspec 
Updating spec repo `trunk`

CocoaPods 1.9.1 is available.
To update use: `sudo gem install cocoapods`

For more information, see https://blog.cocoapods.org and the CHANGELOG for this version at https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/releases/tag/1.9.1

Could anyone help me to completely remove the name from the registry? Much appreciated

Sorry for pinging unexpectedly @orta @dnkoutso

We're open to well tested PRs which allow this to trunk

Sorry, I'm not clear about what feature is needed. I would spend my effort on fixing this issue.

But please help me out, which feature shall I propose?

• Allow the owner to change the name of the package.
• Allow the owner to unpublish the package. Deregister the name from the database?
• Could I reset the name in the database?

I don't remember the original discussions anymore as it was 5-6 years ago when we made this, but I'd be OK with existing authors publishing new versions of pods with the same case when all packages have been unpublished.

I'm very wary of allowing any case changing in pods because we support the local file systems as a database and that's bound to break something somewhere.
