A package move via "update" file is simply an extension of a mv |
| 13 |
command. If you also had to edit the ebuild a package move is generally |
| 14 |
not the right thing to do. Remember that a package move applies to all |
| 15 |
versions of a package, and upstream name changes are generally tied to |
| 16 |
specific versions. |
