[gentoo-user] emerge --security

Good evening all,

Just before I had to kill-file a thread earlier today, I saw mention of

emerge --security

Running this on my system produces:

//garbanzo/root # emerge --security
!!! Error: --security is an invalid option.

This is with portage-2.0.51.22-r3. Is this an option in an upcoming
version?

Thanks,
John

It's not in 2.0.53_rc7 either, although glsa-check does the job for now.

I run glsa-check via cron, even security updates should be inspected
before applying them.

Take a look at here, it's not there yet. It should be:
# glsa-check -t all
that you are interested in, :)

That's what I do also, along with an emerge -puDNv world via cron and
just have the results mailed to me to check in the morning. I thought
there was a new emerge option that I wasn't aware of yet.

Thanks for the reply,
John

I do that, but my cron script also runs "emerge -uDNf world" so I have the
distfiles ready to go.
