I created a repo, "permadeath.com/vibescrobble", which I did some work in. I decided I needed to split the repo into two; I took the existing repo and renamed it "permadeath.com/didbot" and then tried to create a new repo called "permadeath.com/vibescrobble".
Unfortunately, this gives XRPC ERROR 409: Conflict: repository with that record key already exists for this owner. It seems that the knot record wasn't deleted when the PDS record was, and that the delete XRPC for the knot requires the DID (not the rkey).
After >24h the knot is still giving this issue. I think the only way to recover from this situation would be to move knots, or to move "permadeath.com/didbot" back to "permadeath.com/vibescrobble" so the DID aligns, delete it, and then recreate both. But it would really be preferable to have a self-service recovery path...
yeah ok why not #
yeaaaaaaaah
so yeah whatever
