+Title: python-exec package move
+Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org>
+Content-Type: text/plain
+Posted: 2013-11-07
+Revision: 1
+News-Item-Format: 1.0
+Display-If-Installed: dev-python/python-exec
+
+Due to the recent issues which caused dev-python/python-exec:0 to be
+removed prematurely [1], we had to perform an urgent package move.
+Since we could not use the automatic updates support in portage, users
+will notice two python-exec packages and possibly blockers.
+
+Currently, dev-lang/python-exec is the real package that contains
+python-exec and that will be used in the future. dev-python/python-exec
+is a virtual package that is kept for compatibility with dependencies
+in already-installed packages.
+
+In the most favorable scenario, the package will be upgraded correctly
+on your next world update if you use the '--deep' (-D) and '--update'
+(-u) options. If you don't want to perform a complete world update
+or if it fails for you, you may as well manually upgrade
+dev-python/python-exec:
+
+  emerge -1 dev-python/python-exec
+
+This will cause portage to update both python-exec packages and resolve
+the blockers properly.
+
+Please note that if you have applied any kind of package-specific
+modifications to dev-python/python-exec (such as applying keywords
+through 'package.accept_keywords'), you will need to copy them to
+dev-lang/python-exec as well.
+
+If you have applied keywords to dev-python/python-exec in order
+to unmask Python 3.3 on a stable system, please consider removing
+the keywords and reading our wiki page that explains how to properly
+unmask USE flags [2].
+
+We apologize for all the inconveniences. If you have any more issues
+with python-exec, please do not hesitate to contact as at #gentoo-python
+IRC channel (@freenode) or the gentoo-python@lists.gentoo.org mailing
+list.
