So we have two choices here? DSA -> OVAL -> NASL DSA -> NASL I would vote to use OVAL as an intermediatry format, because it immediately puts us within reach of anyone that uses OVAL, whereas obviously a direct DSA to NASL converter only works for the Debian(-inspired) community. Jan, any chance of seeing the oval2nasl code?
