Description Simon Roby 2005-01-08 15:47:13 UTC

Pretty self-explanatory. glsa-check lacks a "-k | --usepkg" option like emerge has to tell it to use binary packages in packages/ if available. As I use binary packages a lot to deploy updates on my machines this would ease up my updating routine a bit.

Reproducible: Always

Grr, OSX doesn't like my naming scheme apparently.  This patch adds -k/-g
--usebinpkg/--getbinpkg options to glsa-check so that users may use both local
and remote binpkgs.
