Marking a packagist package as abandoned in favor of a new location

I'm going to be taking over a fairly popular PHP package under a github organisation. It's going to move from its previous location, and as a result the composer package name will be out of date.

I know it's possible to mark a package abandoned on packagist (See fabpot/php-cs-fixer) and forward it to a new one, but I'd like to make sure I know what I'm getting into so that the transfer can go smoothly.

I haven't been able to find anything about this on packagist or google.

How do you do this?

You can do this on packagist.org.

  1. Log in as the user that published the package
  2. Navigate to the package page
  3. Click the button "Abandon"
  4. Optionally enter a replacement package
  5. Click "Abandon Package"
