Another guy, who should be contacted seems to be Nick Jones. |

GLSAs are going to be integrated into Portage. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I think, an integration of GLSAs needs two basic steps: |
| 11 |
1. Make tracking security announcements easier (needs fixed formats, |
| 12 |
communication channels, a.s.o) - Marius did some work here. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
2. Integrate the standardized GLSA information into Portage. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Step 2 is imho the critical one. It has to be done without changing too much |
| 17 |
in the Portage system. I don't believe, that it is a wise step to introduce |
| 18 |
new use flags or program options for emerge in this phase. |
| 19 |
I wish to find a way to integrate the GLSA information in the current portage |
| 20 |
system without changing too much. |

This minute, I wrote a mail to Daniel to get first hand information and to |
| 23 |
make sure, that any effort to bring this topic forward will go the right way. |

Did anyone take a look at Marius DTD? Any comments on it? |
