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. [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89641 -- Thanks, Zac
