I've made an overlay to add ~amd64 to KEYWORDS for layman-0.9.1. It installed fine and I'm able to use the commands, but there wasn't a /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf installed.
Also, it (the layman make.conf) isn't created by layman as the man pages says it would.
Not a portage issue ( at least from what I can tell ;) )
Did you get any errors from layman? The installation should not create /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf but after adding overlays it should definitely exist. If layman fails to create that file, there should be some error output.
I tried to add xgl-coffee using layman, but I got an error: # layman -a xgl-coffee * Running command "/usr/bin/svn co http://www.tripthelight.net/xgloverlay/ /usr/portage/local/layman/xgl-coffee"... svn: REPORT request failed on '/xgloverlay/!svn/vcc/default' svn: REPORT of '/xgloverlay/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request (http://www.tripthelight.net) * Failed to add overlay "xgl-coffee". * Error was: Adding the overlay failed! I've tried to use subversion and do a checkout on xgl-coffee manually, but get the same svn error :(
This means that the subversion system for this specific overlay is currently down. So this is not really related to layman. It might be a temporary failure. Try again somewhat later. If it does not come back online you might want to try to contact the maintainers of the overlay. If it stays dead for a longer while, I would consider removing it from layman. So I'll keep an eye on it.
I just figured it out. I turned off the transparent proxy on my router/firewall (ipcop) and now it worked. Found the tip here: http://forums.xgl-coffee.org/viewtopic.php?t=58 Is there another way than to turn off the transparent proxy when I use subversion? I like to have the proxy enabled. The make.conf was made by layman now. Guess this proves it works on ~amd64 also. Perhaps make a new revision with ~amd64 keyword?
