I completely understand your concern here.
Orcan has indicated that he was looking to find a new maintainer for
qtractor in any case. I'm more than happy to maintain both and personally
deal with the fallout. I think in Fedora renaming this anything other than
the 'qtractor' is unlikely. I'm happy to consider the alternatives option
Ok so please at least consider submitting non-conflicting package.
Have a look on OpenEXR_Viewer-nonfree for a sample about using alternatives.
