In short: No, yes, yes.

What really is needed is sets support in portage. See bug 144480 for that.

[gentoo-portage-dev] GLEP 14?

2006-10-11 Thread John J Lee

What's the current status of GLEP 14?

This wiki page on glsa-check (which seems to have been more or less 
unchanged for a very long time) has a roadmap:


http://gentoo-wiki.com/Glsa-check

"""
The implementation will take place in the following order:

   1. distribute GLSAs in the portage tree (completed)
   2. release a beta version of the GLSA handling code in gentoolkit (in 
progress)

   3. move dependency handling code from emerge to portage.py
   4. add glsa.py to portage
   5. integrate functions from glsa-check in emerge and equery

Note: This list might be expanded in the future 
"""



So, is there some work that needs to be done on portage before step 3 
happens -- i.e. is now the wrong time to be doing that work?  Or is it 
just lack of somebody to do it?
