uhh we have gentoo-hardened ... not sure what you're asking about ...
> Or even better tools bundled in a "esecurity_check":
putting this in an ebuild to be run everytime a pkg is unpacked is kind of
dumb (no offense meant) ... we have no 'automated' ways for portage to scan
source code looking for potential security issues, nor should there be ...
the responsibility lies on the upstream author and the gentoo maintainer, and
it should stop there ...
perhaps creating tools for developers to use when testing out a new pkg would
be feasible ... then again i think if you want a 'secure' box you should
follow the excellent work the gentoo-hardened team has put together ...
