Subject: [gentoo-portage-dev] [RFC] Add 'emerge --sync-glsa' action and 'emaint sync-glsa' command

1 Hi,
2
3 For server deployments, it's common for administrators to want to use
4 glsa-check for security vulnerabilities, without necessarily wanting to
5 to do a full sync [1].
6
7 So, I propose that we add an 'emerge --sync-glsa' action and a
8 corresponding 'emaint sync-glsa' command that will only sync the
9 relevant metadata/glsa subdirectory of the relevant repository(s).
10 Please respond if you agree or disagree with this proposal.
