Description Christopher Thorjussen 2006-04-24 21:58:03 UTC
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.
Comment 1 Christopher Thorjussen 2006-04-24 22:00:33 UTC
Also, it (the layman make.conf) isn't created by layman as the man pages says it would.
Comment 2 Alec Warner (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2006-04-24 22:06:27 UTC
Not a portage issue ( at least from what I can tell ;) )
Comment 3 Gunnar Wrobel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-04-24 23:24:45 UTC
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.
Comment 6 Christopher Thorjussen 2006-04-25 09:39:36 UTC
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?
