The portage version is used for implementing the @security set, which I |
| 14 |
believe is a dynamic set that pulls in packages that |
| 15 |
"glsa-check -l affected" would report too. |
| 16 |
It has a glsa-check too, as it was supposed to all be unified in there |
| 17 |
eventually, but last I knew, that work has stalled and so there's |
| 18 |
almost the same backend code for this both in portage and gentoolkit. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Use glsa-check from gentoolkit for manual calls and know that there is |
| 21 |
a @security set available (but research how exactly it works before |
| 22 |
relying on it for any security safety. |
