Description Tom Knight (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

The GLSA posting script should be rewritten so that it does direct database
inserts instead of an HTTPS post. This should overcome recent problems with
changes in the cookie authentication system. This mechanism could also be used
for when GLEP 42 is implemented.

Also have a look at using the RSS feeds to gather the information.

In CVS ready for more testing. Requires PEAR-XML_RSS, PEAR-XML_Parser and the
following config variable needs setting in php.ini: allow_url_fopen = On.

Changed it so this isn't needed. This is now live and working:
