Re: Many Gentoo announcements in Bugtraq

[Yuri de Groot]

Replying to self - bad form :-)

The announcements all follow the format:
)
)A bug has been discovered in package foo that may allow [some exploit]
)
)It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are using
)package foo version x.y.z or earlier update their systems as follows:
)
)emerge rsync
)emerge foo
)emerge clean

At least Gentoo looks to be easy to keep patched.
