[gentoo-user] etc-update and /etc/portage/package.*

[Arnau Bria]

Hi,

It's the first time that etc-update changes something in
my /etc/portage dir.

It has changed x11-themes/emerald-themes cause it has changed its
category and removed ksudoku...

I undestand first change, but not second one, so could someone explain
what checks etc-update in that dir?

many thanks in advance.

It's done because of the updates files in /usr/portage/profiles/updates/ which
I think are read during `emerge --sync`. I'm not aware of any documentation
for this so I think the best source of information are the archives of the
gentoo-dev mailing list. The keywords are slotmove and move.

$ egrep "ksudoku|emerald-themes" /usr/portage/profiles/updates/*
/usr/portage/profiles/updates/1Q-2006:move games-board/ksudoku games-puzzle/ksudoku
/usr/portage/profiles/updates/4Q-2006:move x11-misc/emerald-themes x11-themes/emerald-themes

So it should just have moved ksudoku from the games-board to the games-puzzle category.
