And according to Ciaran: "" | #1. Can paludis work with catalyst? No. Nor will it ever, nor will it need to. "" ... hence paludis would be required to do whatever "end result" catalyst produces (i.e. official release media) for it to be usable as an official package manager. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
