Gentoo overlay does not work anymore

[Sven Köhler]

Hi,

Froxlor has been available for Gentoo for a while now. Installation was supposed to happen via an ebuild in a Layman overlay. The overlay doesn't work for several months now.

http://files.froxlor.org/gentoo/repositories.xml points to git://git.froxlor.org/froxlor-gentoo.git which cannot be accessed at the moment. Maybe it's a firewall issue? Anyhow, that repository cannot be accessed it seems.

$ LANG=C git clone git://git.froxlor.org/froxlor-gentoo.git
Cloning into 'froxlor-gentoo'...
fatal: unable to connect to git.froxlor.org:
git.froxlor.org[0: 46.253.127.142]: errno=Connection timed out
git.froxlor.org[1: 2a01:440:1:12:dead:beef:3d2d:815]: errno=Connection timed out

Please restore the Gentoo overlay to its former glory.

 

Kind Regards,
  Sven

I'll see what I can do, ebuild needs a lot of rework and the repository is managed by @Dessa - We'll figure something out

Seems that @Dessa moved the repo, can you check whether the following works for you:

git clone https://git.znc.in/Froxlor/gentoo.git

That worked. Just updated to 0.10.10 using the ebuild.

Can you update repositories.xml accordingly, if @Dessa approves?

[d00p]

I'll talk to him about it, because as this is the "official" ebuild done by us, it should stay on git.froxlor.org - thanks for testing 

[Sven Köhler]

There has been no improvement whatsoever.

Just talked to Dessa today. He thought no one was using that anymore. We're working on it. Please be patient. You might just copy froxlor-0.10.10.ebuild to froxlor-0.10.15.ebuild, run ebuild manifest on it and get the latest stable release

I am using it regularly too. Meanwhile I was just sticking to the old version and thinking about my own overlay but I would rather prefer to get the builds from an official overlay.
At least I didn't find any statement that it is deprecated or abandoned.

As said, we're working on it
