 |
|
Hello. I am having a problem with layman. Below you can see the output that layman is giving me. As you can see, issuing the same command twice returns me different output. Please advise.
| Code: |
# layman -f
* Fatal error: Failed to fetch overlay list!
* Fatal error: Error was: Unknown overlay type "git"!
* Fatal error(s) - aborting
|
| Code: | # layman -f
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/layman", line 37, in ?
main()
File "/usr/bin/layman", line 34, in main
Actions(Config())
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/layman/action.py", line 214, in __init__
i[1](config).run()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/layman/action.py", line 41, in __init__
self.db = RemoteDB(config)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/layman/db.py", line 181, in __init__
Overlays.__init__(self, paths)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/layman/overlay.py", line 61, in __init__
self.read(path)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/layman/overlay.py", line 94, in read
raise Exception('Unknown overlay type "' +
Exception: Unknown overlay type "git"!

edit:
I have found the source of the problem. In /usr/portage/local/layman there is an .xml file with info about the repositories. Amongst them there is this one:
| Code: | <overlay
name="flameeyes-overlay"
src="git://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org/overlay.git"
type="git">
<link>
http://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org
</link>
<description>
Flameeyes' private developer overlay
</description>
</overlay>
|
Emerging dev-util/git does not help.
Removing the above overlay info allows the rest of layman to function. The layman i have in my portage tree is 1.0.0, i see that there is a 1.0.2 on packages.gentoo.org and i suppose that might be able to handle the git-based overlay.
Marking this thread as [workaround]... |

I didnt used your workaround. For me layman works (-L -f -a), but today I decided to add flameeyes-overlay and here we go:
| Code: | # layman -a flameeyes-overlay
* Failed to add overlay "flameeyes-overlay".
* Error was: Binary /usr/bin/cg-clone seems to be missing! Overlay type "git" not supported. |
| Code: | | >>> dev-util/git-1.4.0 merged. |
| Code: | # layman -a flameeyes-overlay
* Failed to add overlay "flameeyes-overlay".
* Error was: Binary /usr/bin/cg-clone seems to be missing! Overlay type "git" not supported. |
So what to do to to have git supported by layman? This happend with app-portage/layman-1.0.2 |

fix:
| Code: |
emerge dev-util/cogito
|
cg-clone isn't a git executable, it's a cogito script 
(cogito being a frontend for git)
