Description Adrian Bassett 2009-04-08 10:10:41 UTC
After sync'ing portage I update gentoo overlays with subversion.  Today I am getting:

# emerge --sync
* Running command "/usr/bin/svn up "/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise""...
Authentication realm: <http://overlays.gentoo.org:80> Subversion Authentication
Password for 'root':

which I assume is not a request for a local password?


Reproducible: Always

works for me. sunrise?
Comment 2 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-08 11:14:30 UTC
Try to remove the overlay by running layman -d sunrise and then re-add it

layman -a sunrise

That should fix the problem

Comment #2 solved the very same problem here, thanks.
Comment 4 Thomas Capricelli 2009-04-08 17:20:55 UTC
I was hit by the problem yesterday and did 
layman -d sunrise
layman -a sunrise

today, when i tried to update, i have the same problem... should i create a script that does -d then -a ?

Comment 5 Thomas Sachau gentoo-dev 2009-04-08 17:59:38 UTC
Please dont do that. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be solved today, so after readding sunrise as of now, it should not happen again.
Comment 6 Soren Harward 2009-04-09 22:42:40 UTC
Still having the login problem.
Comment 7 Mike Nerone 2009-04-10 00:07:17 UTC
Ditto...I synced one last night (well after comment #5), ran into the problem, and did the delete/re-add. Syncing a few hours ago, same problem occurred. I gave the benefit of the doubt and supposed that the fix must have gone in since my previous sync, so did the delete/re-add *again*. Syncing just a moment, ago, the problem still exists.
Comment 8 R Bar-On 2009-04-10 13:35:33 UTC
still the same here
Comment 9 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-10 17:45:13 UTC
I have disabled the password protection of the "sunrise" subdirectory. I don't know why svn would access the directory in the first place since its checkout is limited to the "reviewed" subdirectory. But it is not a complete protection anyway since people were still able to checkout the root directory in SVN anyway and layman limits the regular users to the reviewed dir.
Comment 10 Thomas Sachau gentoo-dev 2009-04-10 19:14:00 UTC
Ok, now the problem should be solved. In addition, the url was changed from http to svn, so you may need a last readdition of sunrise, but than it should be done.
