Thanks, wschlich,

In the future we'd appreciate it if you wouldn't post links to pastebins, as they have the tendency to expire. :(

I'm wondering when a new release will be created that
actually incorporates that patch, because all my systems
are running ~arch gentoolkit and are now unable to send
glsa-check mails... :/

Hopefully, this week, I've got an issue with revdep-rebuild to fix, then I'm releasing rc4

glsa-check-mimetext.patch

Here is a proper patch, the python version number was wrong in the previous one.

Any news regarding _rc4? :)

Fix imports so mail functionality in glsa-check works with python versions less than 2.5 (Bug 211706)

[Comment 8 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2008-04-24 02:32:57 UTC]

Released in gentoolkit-0.2.4_rc4
