New dependency:

• A new dependency is required for the daemon: python3-daemonize

It's been a long time coming, but the terrycain/razer-drivers project now has a new name to help unify discovery of the open source driver and daemon for Razer devices!

Package Renames in Ubuntu/Debian

If you're running Debian, you do not need to take any action as your repository hasn't changed. The new 2.0.0 packages will replace the old ones.

If you're running Ubuntu and are already using the new ppa:openrazer/stable repository, you do not need to take any further action.

However, if you were previously using ppa:terrz-utils/razer, run these commands to ensure you receive the latest updates cleanly:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/terrz-ubuntu-razerutils-*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openrazer/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install openrazer-meta

These commands will take out the old PPA and use the new openrazer-meta package (uninstalling the old names), then you're good to go.

Front-ends will need their packaging updated, so it is normal to see dependency errors until these have been updated too.

If, for some reason you get dependency problems, try completely removing the old packages (which will also remove any frontends) first:

sudo apt remove python3-razer razer-daemon razer-doc razer-kernel-modules-dkms 

Other distributions may already use the openrazer-meta package and can update as usual.
