Description August Hörandl 2015-06-19 08:16:58 UTC

I added the aegypius overlay with layman. layman first syncs the overlay and then warns that the overlay "could not be found".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. layman -o http://aegypius.github.io/overlay/repositories.xml -f -a aegypius
2. layman --sync=aegypius

Actual Results:  
* Fetching remote list...
 * Fetch Ok

 * Syncing selected overlay(s)...
 * Running Git... # ( cd /var/lib/layman/aegypius  && /usr/bin/git pull )
Already up-to-date.
 * 
 * Succeeded:
 * ------
 * Successfully synchronized overlay "aegypius".
 * 
 * 
 * Warnings:
 * ------
 * Overlay "aegypius" could not be found in the remote lists.
 * Please check if it has been renamed and re-add if necessary.

Thank you for reporting this bug.

The issue you're experiencing isn't so much an issue as it is a type of nagging coming from layman. As you can see, it still successfully syncs. However, it's complaining that the overlay information is in no type of local repositories.xml. If you wish for the nagging to disappear you can add the overlay information yourself via layman-overlay-maker or simply download the repositories.xml and edit your layman.cfg to point to that. OR! Another alternative is to append the url to the overlays variable in your layman.cfg after the repositories.xml line.

I'll keep this bug open until I see a response, but once I do I'll mark it as resolved.
