I have written a python script that allows you to compares locally installed packages with those on security.debian.org. Furthermore it provides a description of the problem/DSA name if the package is mentioned in the DSA RDF.
The script is intended to be run as a normal user in a crontab, and thus produces no output if the system is completely upto date. You will need to install python2.2 and python2.2-xml prior to using the script which can be found at http://www.robster.org.uk/files/security-update-check.py Any feedbacl/ideas would be much appreciated. I plan to make some minor changes and package this up later this week :) Cheers Rob -- Rob 'robster' Bradford Founder: http://www.debianplanet.org/ Developer: http://www.debian.org/ Monkey with keyboard: http://www.robster.org.uk/
