Nowhere, it's deprecated. The following ewarn message was displayed when you emerged the new gentoolkit-dev The gensync utility has been deprecated in favor of app-portage/layman. It is still available in /usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-dev-0.2.6.2/deprecated/ for use while you migrate to layman. -- Neil Bothwick ... but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you! signature.asc Description: PGP signature

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