Description
Paludis is a package manager written in C++. It compiles source code instead of using pre-complied binary packages. Incorporating Paludis into BLFS would fix the only complaint about the LFS and BLFS system.

Well, I suppose adding any package to BLFS is a "valid issue", so we'll leave this here to see if any Editor picks it up. Just because there is a ticket to add a package (regardless what the package may be) does not mean that it will be added to BLFS.
However, I agree with Chris that we will not "incorporate" it into BLFS.
This ticket is now just a request to add the package to BLFS.

For the ticket to be valid, the submitter has to explain why Paludis is useful for BLFS. As far as I can understand from the site, it requires creation of a repository, which is not what a typical (B)LFS user will do.
For requirements to package managers, see also http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2073 - until that bug is fixed, it is a bit premature to add any package managers.

I don't see a reason why BLFS should include package manager. We teach people how to build Linux System and install source packages, not how to build distro on top of package manager.
Even assuming this were a valid issue (as I don't agree it is, since I don't think LFS should integrate any specific package manager) wouldn't this really be an LFS issue? The LFS book is where package management is mentioned...
