How to rename and or remove a pub package

Question

How can I rename or delete packages?

Currently I have a package x that I want to split into separate components. Want to keep the main Name but extend it for these components eg "x a" "x b"

Current workaround would be: I keep the old one ,linking to the 2 new once in the read me page

Thank you.

See the following response of Nathan Weizenbaum on a similar request :

We don't like deleting packages that people might be depending on. The best thing to do is probably upload a new version with a README that points users to the "redisclient" package (or "redis_client", which conforms better to the package naming conventions).
