diving into the world of Gentoo+audio, and hit a snag trying to get the pro-audio overlay installed. the Gentoo system is a free install 686. the error i am getting seems to be network related, but i can do everything else net-wise, but have layman install the pro-audio portage. the error is:
# layman -fa pro-audio
* Running command "/usr/bin/svn co "svn://svn.tuxfamily.org/svnroot/proaudio/proaudio/trunk/overlays/proaudio/" "/usr/local/portage/layman/pro-audio""...
svn: Can't connect to host 'svn.tuxfamily.org': Invalid argument
* Failed to add overlay "pro-audio".
* Error was: Adding the overlay failed! Possible remains of the opration have NOT been removed and may be left at /usr/local/portage/layman/pro-audio. Please remove them manually if required.
i can ping svn.tuxfamily.org no problem. simply running the svn command also results in the same "svn: Can't connect to host 'svn.tuxfamily.org': Invalid argument" error.
i have searched the mailing list and tried the IRC channel (could not find it on freenode?). imagine it is something simple and would appreciate a point in the right direction.
