While installing xorg-server-9999 from the x11 overlay, the emerge immediately fails because git says the 'remote end hung up unexpectedly'. Of course, this is because the git repo for the xorg-server package is not at git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/xorg-server but rather, at git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver The problem is that the git URI construction in xorg-2.eclass works for every package except xorg-server itself. I've added a hackish line to xorg-2.eclass to remove 'xorg-server' from the URI where found. Maybe anongit.freedesktop.org should follow its (mostly consistent) URI layout? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. layman -a x11 2. unmask the xorg packages 3. emerge -DavuN world Actual Results: git failed with 'remote end hung up unexpectedly' Expected Results: git should have cloned the correct URI (which doesn't follow the pattern of all the other xorg overlay packages) adding the line: EGIT_REPO_URI=${EGIT_REPO_URI//xorg-server/} after line 92 in /var/lib/layman/x11/eclass/xorg-2.eclass is a suitable (but probably not fit for permanent) workaround that fixes xorg-server-9999 and leaves the other x11 overlay packages working.
It should work now, please reopen if the problem persists.
