installing gentoo bazaar overlay

[Thomas Nichols]

Hi,

In order to start experimenting with bzr-svn, I'd like to install the 
overlay described at https://launchpad.net/bzr-gentoo-overlay/

However, this references http://bzr.malept.com/bazaar-overlay/ -- which 
appears to be empty. I've therefore created a bzr branch from 'trunk' 
and used this as an overlay, then emerged bzr. bzrtools, subversion and 
bzr-svn.

I get this:

$ bzr branch svn+ssh://www.xmlv.com/usr/local/svn/nb nb
bzr-svn is not up to date with installed bzr version 1.2.0.
There should be a newer version of bzr-svn available.

... and the checkout of a tiny repo is taking a while (over 20 mins on a 
tiny repo so far).

This is what I have installed:

 # emerge -pv bzr bzrtools subversion bzr-svn

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Does the (understandable) familiarity of bzr developers with 
ubuntu/debian mean that gentoo support is less up-to-date? Have I missed 
something critical here?

Really excellent piece of kit, this, btw -- thanks to all responsible :-)
