The new url is in layman's git and is available in layman-9999 now. It
is also an easy edit in /etc/layman/layman.cfg to change the url to the
new one. Due to a python ssl limitation, <python-3.2 is not capable of
verifying the https connection. There is a backport of the changes
available which I will create an ebuild for so that layman can verify
the connection.
I will get a new release out soon which will include the new portage
repos.conf style configuration changes. Also coming very soon will be a
gpg signed repositories.xml file which layman-9999 is already capable of
verifying. I will be changing it to use the new gentoo-keys project
which wraps the pyGPG lib I'm using in layman currently. Currently
layman requires you to manually install the gentoo gpg release keys to
verify against. The gentoo-keys project will automate that and provide
access to the correct keyrings for verification.
For stable layman to not use the redirect, edit /etc/layman/layman.cfg.
Change:
overlays:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/repositories.xml
to:
overlays:
https://api.gentoo.org/overlays/repositories.xml
There will likely be 1 leftover cache file and it's correcponding
timestamp file in /var/lib/layman since it uses a hash of the url as
part of the filename. The new url will produce a new, different hash
and subsequently a new pair of files. I will work on detecting that in
layman-updater and remove it automatically on upgrade. In the meantime
they can be removed manually.
