Subject: [gentoo-portage-dev] [RFC] Add 'emerge --sync-glsa' action and 'emaint sync-glsa' command
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2014 12:30:53 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5491E7FD.2080203@gentoo.org> (raw)

Hi,

For server deployments, it's common for administrators to want to use
glsa-check for security vulnerabilities, without necessarily wanting to
to do a full sync [1].

So, I propose that we add an 'emerge --sync-glsa' action and a
corresponding 'emaint sync-glsa' command that will only sync the
relevant metadata/glsa subdirectory of the relevant repository(s).
Please respond if you agree or disagree with this proposal.

Thanks,
Zac
