Paludis

Paludis on Exherbo (User configuration)

Automatic repository configuration

# cave resolve repository/x11 -x

Paludis on Gentoo

Installation

USE="visibility xml" emerge paludis

Configuration (Portage compatible - Gentoo offical tree)

With this configuration you are able to still use portage, although paludis will be sloooow.

# mkdir -p /etc/paludis/repositories

# cat /etc/portage/package.use >> /etc/paludis/use.conf

# cp /etc/portage/package.unmask /etc/paludis/package_unmask.conf

# cp /etc/portage/package.mask /etc/paludis/package_mask.conf

# cave sync

# cave resolve --continue-on-failure if-satisfied installed-packages --execute

Configuration (Portage incompatible - Gentoo offical tree)

Now that we have played around a little with Paludis we really don't need Portage compatibility anymore, so lets adjust our configuration to speed up Paludis.

# mkdir -p /var/cache/distfiles

# mkdir -p /var/cache/paludis/gentoo/provides

# mkdir -p /var/cache/paludis/gentoo/names

# mkdir -p /var/cache/paludis/metadata

# chown -R paludisbuild:paludisbuild /var/cache/paludis

# chown -R paludisbuild:paludisbuild /var/cache/distfiles

# chown -R paludisbuild:paludisbuild /var/tmp/paludis

# chmod g+w /var/cache/distfiles

# chmod g+w /var/tmp/paludis

# cave sync

# cave resolve --continue-on-failure if-satisfied installed-packages --execute

Configuration (Portage incompatible - Automatic repository/overlay configuration)

# cave sync

# cave show -t package repository/*

# cave resolve repository/<repository_name> -x
