from the feedback so far I do not see a real issue with the proposal.
The workplan could be as follows:
* have a final openvas-plugins release
(add a test to configure environment that will stop in case
of openvas-server >= 2.1.0 is installed, with the hint that
from openvas-server >= 2.1.0 on openvas-plugins is not needed any more)
* move the nvt sync script and the C-Plugins over to openvas-server
* add a note to the documentation of openvas-server how to get
the NASL NVTs (sync or tar ball).
This should also be the recommendations to packagers.
Packagers shoulds be made aware that 2.1 conflicts with presence
of openvas-plugins.
* Increase openvas-server version to 2.1.0 to indicate the change.
Add a test for configure.in that sends an error about presence
of installed openvas-plugins module (not execatly sure how to
identify this precisely).
* install a (semi)-automatic routine on our feed server that creates
a tarball from the feed ("openvas-nvt-feed-snapshot-20090505.tar.gz")
perhaps with a symbolic link "openvas-nvt-feed-snapshot-current.tar.gz".
If no one objects, I propose to formulate this into a Change Request and
go for a vote.
Best
Jan
