Description Michael J. Astrauskas 2009-01-22 01:13:22 UTC

app-portage/layman-1.1.1 uses dev-util/subversion to update its list of overlays, but does not pull this dependency in.  In previous versions of layman there was a "subversion" use flag.  This is gone in 1.1.1.  subversion through layman silently fails on a "layman -L" or "layman -f".  However, on "layman -S -a sunrise" I saw:

*
* Errors:
* ------
*
* Failed to sync overlay "sunrise".
* Error was: Binary /usr/bin/svn seems to be missing! Overlay type "svn" not supported. Did you emerge dev-util/subversion?
*
