Duplicate projects

[dfandrich]

While bulk adding a number of packages, I ran into a number of projects that are duplicates, i.e. two or more Anitya IDs that refer to the same external project. While there are a number of open issues here on avoiding creating new duplicate projects (like #1752), they currently exist and should be cleaned up. Here are the ones I ran into:

alacritty
boto
breathe
Business-ISMN
cinelerra-gg
cmark
cookiecutter
eyed3
flask
flask-wtf
flit
hydra
igraph
kubernetes
libdbi
libdbi-drivers
libmspack
license-expression
markdown
mkosi
nanopb
networkx
opencc
pencil2d
prettytable
proj
pyaudio
pyinstaller
pytest-timeout
rdiff-backup
reno
repsnapper
scipy
scons
sphinxcontrib-websupport
sslscan
subliminal
swig
thrift
xrootd

Here is another batch of duplicates:

avalon-framework
facter
gitea
pycairo
PyYAML

I also found a pair with different names that are duplicates of each other: 389-ds and 389-ds-base

Thanks for doing this. When I will finally find some time, I would like to introduce some mechanic that will prevent creating duplicates. Right now the duplicates are only shown during creating project through UI.

It would be helpful to be able to mark one project as a duplicate of another and then archive one of them.

For posterity, here is another batch of duplicates I've run into:

blosc
commons-compress
grub
http_parser.rb
libdbi
libsbsms
python-gnupg
pyinstaller
py-bobyqa
xf86-video-mach64
xf86-video-neomagic
xf86-video-siliconmotion
zxing-cpp

And here are some duplicates that are found under different names:

389-ds & 389-ds-base
bumpversion & bump2version
Cairo & cairo-perl
clucene-core & mingw-clucene
flask-wtf & Flask-WTF
Hack fonts & hack
Ganglia Web & Ganglia WEb
gcloud-golang & google-cloud-go
guidelines-support-library & GSL
Pimple (v1) & Pimple
vconfig & vlan
gcdemu & cdemu-client & cdemu-daemon

@bkmgit There is, you can flag the project and provide link to other project as description. When I have some spare time I'm going through those.
