Software for renaming a whole hierarchy of packages?

Software for renaming a whole hierarchy of packages?

[mockturtle]

Dear.all,
I have the following problem:  I have a (quite large) hierarchy of
packages (with package root, say, FOO) that I modified to suit my
needs.  Since now the two hierarchies are quite different, I would
like to rename the root of the modified version, both to avoid clashes
and to give a more meaningful name (say, BOO.  More meaningful, isn't
it?:-) to the new one.  This means that I have to change every
FOO.<something> into BOO.<something>.  I could do this by hand, but it
is boring and error-prone, I could do this with sed, but I could mess
everything up.  Are you aware of some tool (maybe ASIS based?) that
could help me in this?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sure ! :-)

Just download AdaSubst from http://www.adalog.fr/compo2.htm#adasubst

It does exactly this, and much more (if you move components inside your
hierarchy, for example).

There is another option to be considered. GPS (GNAT Programming
Studio) has Refactoring features.

That's the way I do it, though you still have to manually rename the 
files if you're intending to conform to GNAT's default file naming 
conventions.
