[Description pavel sanda 2013-08-12 06:20:41 UTC]

hi,
it seems that the database built for eix-remote contains only few repositories and most of other is missed. perhaps some bug in the build script?
(using eix-0.28.5)

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
the results of current eix-remote update call shows only few repositories:

This is not a problem of eix but of infra(?).

Not sure whom to CC: Who maintains dev.gentooexperimental.org and can check/fix the update script? (Perhaps the "bug" is solved by just updating eix to the latest release or by generating metadata for the overlays?)

Last time it was Patrick Lauer who fixed it (see bug #371270).

Thanks for fixing it, Patrick. Closing as fixed.
