Paludis is a package manager for Gentoo (and
derived distributions) and Exherbo. It consists of
a core library and a number of console-based
clients. Package formats supported include Gentoo
ebuilds and kdebuilds (as defined by the Package
Manager Specification), the Exherbo exheres-0
format, and various miscellaneous utility
pseudo-formats for managing accounts, unwritten
and unavailable packages, and packages for which
no package exists.
