Did all of that just a few hours ago, so unless the repo has changed since then I will stick to my claim that that does not work for me.

The tarball has changed. I renamed the script (added missing ".bash"), tested it again, works.

Can I set per-package cflags in Paludis?
Octave consistently fails a test in make check, and I'd like to know if it has anything to do with cflags.

You can set per package cflags in /etc/paludis/bashrc

add something like this to the case statement:

So many things fail the test phase for me that I just did "export SKIP_FUNCTIONS=test" for all packages. How bad is this?

That is normal for portage. Portage skips tests.

I have excluded testing for the packages that fail tests per package (or masked them if I wanted to), but you can (if you want to) do the oposite. you can set packages to skip test by default and enable testing on per package basis for the ones you wanna test.

How bad is it to exclude all tests? AFAIK (and i have set this too on some P2 machine) it works ok.

minor corrections

I wanted to check out Paliou for some time now. I decided that it is time to move today. Well at least the feature list sounds great. I hope the best for my old system

(Which is a realy mess atm, what means more mess wont matter

)

But thats not the Problem. While checking resources on the Homepage to do everything right I found a broken Link.
Plix check out http://svn.pioto.org/viewvc/paludis/overlay/ in

The link at http://paludis.pioto.org/migration.html to the portage2paludis.bash script is broken:

Good Day,

I have just completed a new install of paludis.
I unmasked paludis-0.20.0 and installed via emerge. I then ran the portage2paludis.bash script, and then verified my /etc/paludis directories, config files, etc. And created my sym link: ln -s /var/lib/portage/world /var/db/pkg/world
But...when I run paludis --sync I get the following message:

iDeq ~ # paludis --sync

Unhandled exception:
* In program paludis --sync:
* When loading default configuration:
* Default configuration error: No repositories specified (paludis::DefaultConfigError)

I double checked the repositories and they are in /etc/paludis/repositories as listed in the migration docs.
I did notice that there is no .paludis folder in my home. Hmmm.

Any ideas?

The "ln -s /var/lib/portage/world /var/db/pkg/world"-symlink is only discribed as you migrate by the manual method.
Using the portage2paludis.bash-script there is imho no necessity to create that symlink.

Does paludis not support a write cache for the gentoo repository? Just curious because I am getting an error on gentoo when it tries to update the write cache at the end of a sync. I get

you should search before posting... gentoo already provide its metadata/cache, so you don't need to create it=> put write_cache=/var/empty in the gentoo repository conf file

I did search (couldn't find what I was looking for) and I figured that as much. I read over the paludis site for this info also. I was going to set it to /var/empty, and knew that would fix it, I just wanted verification.

An update wanted to install openssl,but Paludis aborted with an error:

Hopefully that was not posted before. Really simple hook for automatic mounting tmpfs before build starts. It mounts using at most half of your system memory. Please have a look inside for very basic configuration.
EDIT: removed they were utterly broken
