this bug report has been lying around for too long: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2223 ( rpmdrake doesn't show advisories)
apparently it's pretty easy and the descriptions file just needs to be modified by the people who push the update. (is this sysadmin?) i think we just need to put this in the policy and have the people who push it put the advisory in this descriptions file on the mirrors. the only question i have is how does this get onto the mirrors? is there an svn file we can just modify so that the advisories become available? in any case, i'm planning on putting this in the policy once and for all, so that this minor bug is finally resolved. any objections?
