Running layman -a on a mercurial-hosted overlay layman suggests installing dev-util/mercurial, which should be dev-vcs/mercurial (or USE=mercurial in ~arch layman) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do not have mercurial installed (do not USE mercurial in ~arch) 2. emerge layman 3. layman -a <overlay on mercurial> (I tried with "rion") Actual Results: * Failed to add overlay "rion". * Error was: Binary /usr/bin/hg seems to be missing! Overlay type "mercurial" not supported. Did you emerge dev-util/mercurial? Expected Results: * Failed to add overlay "rion". * Error was: Binary /usr/bin/hg seems to be missing! Overlay type "mercurial" not supported. Did you emerge dev-vcs/mercurial?
A patch is already in the repository. I expect positive feedback for bug #313303 later today. After that I'll do a new release for you. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 307849 ***
