Description Rick Altherr 2006-11-04 09:21:57 UTC 
I like to put two things in my crontab: emerge -q --sync followed by glsa-check -ln affected.  The problem is that glsa-check always outputs a legend even if there are no GLSAs listed.  A -q option should suppress that output and result in no output unless a GLSA is listed.

Just drop stderr to /dev/null then.
Comment 2 Rick Altherr 2006-11-05 11:45:39 UTC 
Considering the other major tools offer quiet modes, I would expect glsa-check to offer one as well.
Comment 3 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-05 16:57:16 UTC 
Doesn't change anything. I'm not going to waste time adding a IMHO useless option.
Comment 4 Ylosar Goer 2007-05-10 12:42:20 UTC 
stderr is supposed to be used for errors, not for useless informations which belongs to a man page, IMHO.
