Paludis on Gentoo

Installation

Configuration (Portage compatible - Gentoo offical tree)

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

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/paludis/distfiles

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

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

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

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

# chmod g+w /var/cache/paludis/distfiles

# chmod g+w /var/tmp/paludis
