Description Piotr Karbowski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-02-13 19:32:58 UTC
The 2.3.0 version of layman seems to crash hard on adding and removing overlays if /etc/portage/repos.conf/layman.conf does not exist.

+ layman -L
+ sed 's@check_official : Yes@check_official : No@g' -i /etc/layman/layman.cfg
+ layman -a foo-overlay

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Thomas Capricelli 2015-02-16 23:21:16 UTC
same here. I guess it's kinda related to the recent repos.conf news, but not sure how.

It's quite severe here : after doing "layman -d kde", /var/lib/layman/kde was indeed removed, but not from the installed.xml file. So that layman -a would not work anymore and the whole system is broken. I'm still searching how to fix it.
Comment 2 Thomas Capricelli 2015-02-16 23:33:49 UTC
for info: locally masking >=2.3.0 fixes it here.
Comment 3 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-02-17 05:10:27 UTC
fixed in commit:

https://github.com/gentoo/layman/commit/afece9a3634defccebd86d161d21e5475f3fea3c

expect a layman version bump soon.
Comment 4 Juergen Rose 2015-02-17 14:05:42 UTC
I have a similar error. At a new gentoo installation I wanted to add an overlay.
'layman -a sunrise' sunrise complains about missing /etc/portage/repos.conf/layman.conf. I really have an empty /etc/portage/repos.conf directory, which I already created manually. Should this file /etc/portage/repos.conf/layman.conf be created manually or automatically by 'layman -a'?

Comment 5 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-02-17 16:42:34 UTC
For your error if you run "layman-updater -R"  it will make the file with the installed overlay that you added.  It should work normally now.

I have it fixed now in git.

Thanks, that helped a little bit. I have now cat /var/lib/layman/make.conf.
But there is a further problem. I added four reposiories:

sysresccd src # layman -l

 * sage-on-gentoo            [Git       ] (git://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo.git                                                                               )
 * science                   [Git       ] (git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sci.git                                                                                )
 * sunrise                   [Git       ] (git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise-reviewed.git                                                                   )
 * x11                       [Git       ] (git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/x11                                                                                    )

I find them all in /etc/portage/repos.conf/layman.conf, but only two are present in /var/lib/layman/make.conf:

sysresccd src # cat /var/lib/layman/make.conf
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="
/var/lib/layman/science
/var/lib/layman/sunrise
$PORTDIR_OVERLAY
"
Comment 7 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-02-18 08:55:26 UTC
There is no need for the make.conf file.  You can delete it.  The new repos.conf/ file passes all the info to portage.

It is possible for layman to make both it's make.conf and repos.conf/layman.conf files, but only one is needed.  The make.conf file is the old method.

OK, thanks for the information.

When do you expect to release a version of layman > 2.3.0 which includes the fix from the git repository?
