 Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2008 9:15 am Post subject: Overlays Issue [git not working] [solved] |
 |
|
I seem to have a strange issue with overlays here, I installed layman and then did :
| Code: |
wall rahul # layman --fetch
wall rahul # layman --list
* gentopia [Git ] (source: git://git.overlays.gentoo....)
* gnome [Git ] (source: git://git.overlays.gentoo....)
* graaff [Git ] (source: http://moving-innovations....)
* kde [Git ] (source: git://www2.mailstation.de/...)
* philantrop [Git ] (source: git://www2.mailstation.de/...)
* swegener [Rsync ] (source: rsync://rsync.gentoo.steal...)
* welp [Git ] (source: git://git.overlays.gentoo....)
* x11 [Git ] (source: git://git.overlays.gentoo....)
|
Where are the rest of the overlays, more specifically the desktop-effects overlay?
And if I try to add any overlay, I get the following error message:
| Code: |
wall rahul # layman --add x11
* Running command "/usr/bin/git clone "git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/x11/" "/usr/portage/local/layman/x11""...
Initialized empty Git repository in /usr/portage/local/layman/x11/.git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fetch-pack from 'git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/x11/' failed.
* Failed to add overlay "x11".
* Error was: Directory /usr/portage/local/layman/x11 does not exist. Cannot remove the overlay!
|
Any idea as to what is happening here?

OK, it seems to be a problem with git. git is not working! Strange, is it not?
| Code: |
wall rahul # git clone git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/gnome.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/rahul/gnome/.git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fetch-pack from 'git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/gnome.git' failed.
|
Actually, the error is changing, the new error is:
| Code: | wall rahul # git clone git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/gnome.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/rahul/gnome/.git/
fatal: read error (Connection reset by peer)
fetch-pack from 'git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/gnome.git' failed.

Bumping an old thread I know, but can you tell us how you solved it? I'm wrestling with this issue right now and I can't see any solution :/

I myself do not know how it was solved, to be exact.
Of course you need to do a layman -L -k to list all the available overlays. However, I was not able to add any overlay and I have no idea why this was happening. As I said it solved itself over the night. However, do make sure that git and subversion are installed.
Sorry, that I could not be of any further help.

git.overlays.gentoo.org was not working yesterday. Had the same problems with openrc and desktop-effects overlays.
All overlays from other servers worked like a charm.
Today syncing from git.overlays.gentoo.org is working again. |

Yeah, I noticed things are working again. At first I thought it was a problem with git, since all overlays worked except for those working with git. Apparently the problem was something else.
Anyway, thanks for your replies of course
