#42156: libnasl: outdated and broken ----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: libnasl | ----------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): Replying to [ticket:42156 mojca@…]:
And given that there exists the `openvas-libnasl` port and that nobody reported a broken port, I strongly suspect that it could make a lot more sense to remove these `nessus` ports unless they are still needed (but they aren't usable anyway).
Regarding this point, I'm not sure what the relationship is between the libnasl and openvas-libnasl ports, but neither depends on the other, so what you do with libnasl doesn't affect openvas-libnasl. Also, all of openvas in MacPorts is severely outdated. Newer versions did not build and I could not get any help about that from the developers. See #25338. In the (as of 3.5 years ago) "new" version, openvas-libnasl no longer exists. See #25340. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42156#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
