Upstream has reported a request for minizip naming change from "minizip" to "minizip-ng" (minizip-ng is the official name of the upstream package right now). 

As Fedora should match the upstream naming, I believe this change is necessary.

Another naming change is required for the "minizip-compat" package which is the subpackage of the "zlib" package. Upstream requests that we should rename "minizip-compat" to "minizip". 

I agree with renaming this package as well, however, this could lead to multiple confusions maybe even conflicts for the users. The problem with renaming this package right after renaming the "minizip-ng" could be that the users may be confused about which package is the right "minizip" for them.

I believe we could rename the "minizip-compat" to the "minizip" after some larger time period so every package that requires "minizip" changes the requirements to "minizip-ng" and there is no confusion anymore.

The first step I want to do is to create a Fedora Change, which contains this whole process and is well communicated within the community.

This email serves as a heads-up and also opens a possibility for any tips that you can give me with this change. This is my first time doing a change like this so it may have some bumps along the way, but I'm willing to learn and improve, so feel free to give me any advice you think could benefit me with this process.

Thank you for understanding and sorry for quite a long email.
