That's pointless: glsa-check gets the information from the tree, so you |
| 9 |
only have to run it after you've run `emerge --sync`. There are plans to |
| 10 |
extend it to use the GLSAs on the security website but that isn't |
| 11 |
implemented yet (and, as you have pointed out, would require you to run |
| 12 |
`emerge --sync` anyway). |
