A few days ago I showed Sheriff [1], . IMHO it is good tool to help us improve Arch's security. What is missing now is a way to integrate Sheriff with Arch and mark a vulnerability as fixed. It would be great if we could add a field in PKGBUILD to indicate that it fixed a vulnerability. It could be a comment (as the 'Contributor' tag work) or even a new variable (fix=('vulnx' 'vulny')). All this, of course, leads to some other things as commitment to correct flaws or the creation of a security team. I do not know. I am open to suggestions and would really like to know what you guys think about it and if you think it is worth. [1] http://dev.archlinux.org/~hugo/sheriff/ -- Hugo
