1 Ok, interesting. I think the problem is that I can't get to git:// port due to corporate firewall, so I've been switching the address to http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/... rather than git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/... I believe this functionality worked a few months ago (and it works now on github), but doesn't appear to work on the overlays server now. When I try to use the http port, I get a 503 error:
2
3 git clone http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/dev/heroxbd.git
4 Cloning into 'heroxbd'...
5 fatal: unable to access 'http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/dev/heroxbd.git/': The requested URL returned error: 503
6
7 I had assumed that access through both http and git ports were unavailable, but as I can only test http, this is clearly not the case. In fact, the distinction is clearly made on http://infra-status.gentoo.org that "gitweb" is down, but I did not initially understand the meaning.

9 Ok, so unless something I said seems wrong or there is a http git server that hosts overlays/heroxbd, I'll try to figure out a work around on my end. Sorry for the noise!

22 Thank you for trying it out. I tried to get the overlay via layman with
23 success. Could you paste your error message from layman?
