  This thread is the part 5 of the old Paludis Support thread - Part 4. It has been splitted with the upcomming 0.26.* versions of Paludis.
  
  This front post will be updated from time to time. The old first post will not.
  
  Paludis is a portage alternative.
  
  I created this thread for everybody that has problems with using paludis or has something useful to contribute to others about paludis.
  Paludis is different than portage in command line and configs differ, too.
  Any help, info, shortcut, howto or a tip is welcome here.

Since I updated paludis to 0.36.1 I get this weird and somewhat idiotic warning:

If you have anything installed from paludis-extras, you'll get that warning.

With Portage I used to issue 'emerge -j4 --load-average=6 foo' which made a huge difference to compiling time. I'm wondering if Paludis has a similar option?,

Recently I get the following error for the X11 overlay:

[loftwyr]

The X11 downgrades are due to some of the packages being masked in advance by the main repository package.mask.

The message there can be ignored or you can edit one of the two files.
