I subscribe to the GLSA RSS feed, and scan that feed manually against

Can you explain this a bit more? glsa-check hasn't actually changed for
a long time. Also make sure you don't confuse the --list option with
the --test option.
I don't have any problems with the glsa-check program, I think you are
just forgetting to use the --test mode. I would have liked a way to get
the title of the program printed out along with the GLSA advisory #, so
I wrote a very simple shell script to do just that:

for i in `glsa-check -t all`;
do
if [ -e /usr/portage/metadata/glsa/glsa-$i.xml ]
then
echo $i; cat /usr/portage/metadata/glsa/glsa-$i.xml | grep title;
fi
done
