Hi, |
2 |
|

the GLSAs to the announce mailinglist are really ok, but if you have more |
4 |
gentoo systems, manually updating security related packages is not so much |
5 |
fun, and quickly you may forget something. |
6 |
|
7 |
I imagine a GLSA database like the package.mask file, where information about |
8 |
package versions is kept, which packages are insecure and prehaps which |
9 |
version are suggested for updating. |
10 |
|
11 |
Then I could think of a comman tool like qpkg, e.g. secure_check: |
12 |
# emerge sync |
13 |
# secure_check //print out secure packages version, if insecure are found |
14 |
# secure_check | xargs emerge -p //would feed emerge with this information, to |
15 |
do a security update of all needed packages with one command |
16 |
|

So far so good, does something like this already exists? Is someone already |
19 |
working on it? |
