[Bug 396251] New: Replace Nessus with OpenVAS
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=396251 Summary: Replace Nessus with OpenVAS Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Alpha 0 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bitdealer@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- As you may or may not know current versions of Nessus are no longer licensed under the GPL. Therefore some kind folks decided to create the Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS) project which is a fork of the latest version of Nessus that was licensed under the GPL (please see http://www.openvas.org/ for details). I compiled their latest release on OBS for 10.3 and it works just fine, except that some plugins complain about missing files but this is, if I understood the openvas-devel lists correctly, cause of licensing problems which makes it impossible to distribute those files under the GPL and will be fixed in future releases. Please see http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/bitshuffler/openSUSE_10.3/ for my packages. So please drop Nessus from openSUSE since only the non free (as in non GLP-ed version) will be developed in the future and replace it with OpenVAS. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
