It also states that tools-portage is the responsible herd, I'm not sure |
| 20 |
why Karl listed himself as maintainer, but gentoolkit bugs/patches |
| 21 |
should be reported to tools-portage@g.o. That's especially true |
| 22 |
for glsa-check, as Karl knows probably little about it (I wrote/maintain |
| 23 |
it). |
| 24 |
As for the letters, I choose N for "new" to somehow resemble the emerge |
| 25 |
output. I've added color support in CVS so that it's clearer which lines |
| 26 |
are the important ones, those changes are just not released yet. |
| 27 |
Also keep in mind that glsa-check is a *temporary* solution, it will be |
| 28 |
integrated into emerge in the future (unfortunately not in 2.0.51), so |
| 29 |
I'm not to keen to make the interface perfect. |

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be |
| 37 |
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
