At present, no, since we haven't implemented non-tbz2 binaries. | #1. Can paludis work with catalyst? No. Nor will it ever, nor will it need to. | #2.

Can paludis build a portage-compatible VDB that can be used by the | Gentoo Linux Installer? No. Nor will it ever, nor will it need to. Your claim, specifically, was "It *is* essential if paludis were to ever be used for release building.".
