when running glsa-check -p all, glsa-check usually goes through finds any glsa's you are affected by and displays ways to fix (update this app/lib, etc). In this case, it seems to fail during its search. Before my last emerge sync, this worked fine, and for the GLSA 200407-12, it would tell me update my kernel. During my last emerge i sync'd the ebuild of ck-sources-2.6.8.1-r7, previously i had like r4 or something in portage. I am still running ck-sources-2.6.7 as my running kernel for now. also portage was just updated I think (i usually emerge -u world once a week or so).

The problem is that the python XML code returns Unicode which portage doesn't like. I plan to release a fixed version later this week.

So let me get this straight, the stable version is broken so people have to use a masked one? -- not much QA there :)
WARNING: This tool is completely new and not very tested, so it should not be used on production systems. It's mainly a test tool for the new GLSA release and distribution system, it's functionality will later be merged into emerge and equery. What part of that was misunderstandable?
The part that stops you from being able to test it ;) -- if its fixed in a masked version, why not the stable. That remains a complete mistery.
Because pre10 includes other changes as well, including a broken `equery belongs` implementation. And before you say "fix it and make a new release": CVS has even more problems right now.
well, ideally critical fixes made to masked should be backported to stable -- just like security patches can be applied on old versions. I suppose if it were this easy, it would already be done but really this should be quite a high priority. Keeping a critical feature broken for over a month puts a bit of a dent in my gentoo high QA belief -- especially since the bug is fixed in the unstable version.
Well, I'm not too keen on supporting multiple branches for a tool that's clearly marked as experimental.

Can we please get this fixed in the stable version :(
