I was waiting for NessusClient ot provide a final release before
doing that but if you want to take over that's fine by me.

Does it compile without those headers? If it does then the dependency can be
removed...

This one is trickier. Maybe it would be best to move that script to the
nessus (GUI) package instead. A conflicts would need to be added to both the
nessusd version that included it and the nessus package that includes it
instead.

well, I didn't meant to take over ;-)
I just want to offer assistence :-)

I also hope that NessusClient is going to be 1.0.0 soon
(I just fixed a show-stopper bug. Now there are 3 bugs left in the
bug tracker of which one is minor and I need input for the two others).

AFAICT, yes. NessusClient has its own copy of the files needed from libnessus.

Perhaps the package of nessusd should not contain it but only the
(old) nessus gtk client (package "nessus"). Then "nessus" and "nessusclient"
should conflict.

Another alternative is that NessusClient renames the script to "nessusclient-mkcert".
Renaud: thats probably up to you to decide. What do you think?

Renaud confirmed for this and I just checked the renaming into CVS.

Javier: There is likely to come a RC5 release very soon.
Could you update the Debian package for it once released and let us know
if something is still not in order?

RC5 is out now. Could you give it a try and let us know about problems etc.
I am offering to test the package and to fix what you perhaps need to have fixed.

I don't have that much time available right now. Yesterday I rebuilt,
tested and uploaded to Debian the first version of the 2.2.8 Debian
packages. I will put making new NessusClient packages in the queue, but
my current queue of work is actually quite large and takes time to get
processed.... just so you all know.

Regards

Javier
