Paludis

Paludis on Exherbo (User configuration)

File: /etc/paludis/repository_defaults.conf

names_cache = ${root}/var/cache/paludis/names
write_cache = ${root}/var/cache/paludis/metadata

Automatic repository configuration

File: /etc/paludis/repositories/repository.conf

format = repository
config_filename = /etc/paludis/repositories/%{repository_template_name}.conf
config_template = /etc/paludis/repository.template

Code: # 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.

Code: # mkdir -p /etc/paludis/repositories

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

File: /etc/paludis/repositories/gentoo.conf

location = /usr/portage

provides_cache = /var/cache/paludis/gentoo/provides
names_cache = /var/cache/paludis/gentoo/names
write_cache = /var/cache/paludis/metadata

$ # cave sync

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