I use to modify standard ebuilds (mainly for cvs live-update) and I think this i a simplier way..

hello LucaMartinetti,
Can you confirm the absolute useful of this script. I was thinking in terms of
1. Add commands to check for security updates, then run the script immediately only for the security updates.
2. Add commands for normal updates, for instance, run it as a cron job every weekend
If this can be extended somewhat with more features, this is a good candidate for an ebuild. |

Which kind of commands should I add?

I'm already using this via cron (my is linked in /etc/cron.daily/ and the output is mailed to me only when needed)
