There was some discussion a while ago with regards to security patching of gentoo. |
2 |
|
3 |
Of the suggestions one was to add a security switch to emerge to scan for packages that need security updates. Is this |
4 |
planned or suggested or something, since I'm going to start working on a seperate package to do just that, since maintaining |
5 |
my servers with security updates are becoming a problem and a package that can scan a whole machine and tag packages for update that only have security |
6 |
updates is really something I need. |
7 |
|
8 |
The package I want to start building will be very basic at first. |
9 |
|
10 |
First off it creates a list of all packages installed on system not just world or system and then using this |
11 |
list compare the versions installed with a reference list which I'll possibly have to maintain myself. |
12 |
|
13 |
Any suggestions or help would be welcomed since i've never done any python work ;P |
