Description Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2014-02-02 01:26:25 UTC
This is easily worked around, but an obvious enhancement
.
       --whitelist-from=FILE
              Specifies  a  file  containing a list of files to whitelist, one
              per line, # prefixed lines ignored.  Use  this  option  multiple
              times in order to specify multiple whitelists.

Please accept an entire directory, eg:
darkside@woodpecker ~ $ ls /space/distfiles-whitelist/
current     metagen  prefix-more-temp  python_overlay
kde-sunset  prefix   prefix-temp       vdr-overlays
