Description Florian Effenberger 2004-06-17 11:37:05 UTC

emerge should support a security update flag. Sometimes you don't want to compile all packages at once, but only the security relevant ones. A command like

emerge --update world-security
and
emerge --update system-security

would be great.

Reproducible: Always

There's another tool for that, glsa-check, included in app-portage/gentoolkit
