Hi group,
When the portage2paludis script completes it says I need to create /var/db/pkg/.cache and directories beneath it named after /etc/paludis/repositories.
Under /etc/paludis/repositories there are gentoo.conf, installed.conf and layman.conf.
Question: are these new dirs named gentoo OR gentoo.conf and so on for the other two?
Maxim

If you enable caching, you'll have to create '.cache' subdir (default
name) in every used repository.

AFAIK it shouldn't ask such a thing, prehaps you read it wrong?
All you need to do is to create a conf for /usr/portage and all the
overlays you have in /etc/paludis/repositories, one for each, plus one
for 'installed' repository at /var/db/pkg.
In fact, portage2paludis should've done it for you, but you better
check that every conf is correct, especially sync urls.

You only need the dirs, specified in respective conf.
gentoo.conf, created by po2pal script probably contains /usr/portage,
and there should be /var/db/pkg in installed.conf, so you should have
these already, but in order to use cache, you'll need to create
'.cache' subdirs inside.

Went ahead and named them just gentoo etc no .conf. And paludis --sync worked! But the dirs are empty. Would it have worked if I had added .conf to the dir names?
