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

18 $ egrep "ksudoku|emerald-themes" /usr/portage/profiles/updates/*
19 /usr/portage/profiles/updates/1Q-2006:move games-board/ksudoku games-puzzle/ksudoku
20 /usr/portage/profiles/updates/4Q-2006:move x11-misc/emerald-themes x11-themes/emerald-themes

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