12 * The gensync utility has been deprecated in favor of
13 * app-portage/layman. It is still available in
14 * /usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-dev-0.2.6.2/deprecated/ for use while
15 * you migrate to layman.

17 gensync is going away due to it not being maintained and the fact that
18 app-portage/layman is a better tool as well as being actively
19 maintained.

21 You can copy the appropriate files from
22 the /usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-dev-0.2.6.2/deprecated/gensync directory
23 in order to continue to use it. However, it will go away completely in
24 the next release.
