It can not. Paludis, by your own admission, can not and will not build portage-compatible binary packages. This is a simple binary equation. Can paludis provide a portage-compatible binary package? No. This means it does not give the same end result. Period. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
