The only problem is that paludis-0.38.2 has a depedency on >=app-admin/eselect-news-20071201.

That needs to be removed.

EDIT: And it has in both the gentoo and paludis-overlay repositories.

I have a strange problem on my new gentoo install.
Basically I'm trying to rebuild the 9999 kde packages from kde-testing overlay.
The problem is that the sources aren't updated because paludis thinks one hour hasn't passed since last fetch:

That works, thanks. But it's more like a workaround, not a long term solution

How do I fix this?

First of all: I didn't use paludis before, currently I use portage. And I don't want to start a flamewar.

Here is my question:
GOAL: a more efficiently use of CPU during compile
CPU: Intel Core i7 860, 4 core HT enabled
ACTUAL situation: parallel build with-portage - MAKEOPTS="-j8 --load-average=10" and this command: emerge --jobs=4 --load-average=11 --keep-going -e world. world-set contain ~2400 packages. /var/tmp/portage is mount as tmps in RAM. I gain only ~20% improvement comparative with my old E8400 processor. Most of time CPU does get used more that 30%-40% and that's annoying.

QUESTION: As far I know paludis lack of parallel-build feature. Despite of this, if I switch to paludis do you think I will gain an important improvement during emerge -e world equivalent ?

Just another question:
Is it normal that after I run

Just like Portage, Paludis won't remove files it doesn't own (i.e. your compiler output). You have to delete them yourself.

No, that means that the files created after installing the packages (like the resumes of building a kernel) aren't owned by the package and paludis won't remove them. Normal binaries and other things directly installed by paludis are tracked and removed.

Oh, now I get it. Thank you very much for explaining it.

is there some description of dependency resolution algorithm for paludis (without reading c++ code)? because every now and then I run into problems that I don't understand.

here's another one:
