Bugs item #1261, was opened at 2010-01-21 12:45 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Stephan Kleine (bitshuffler) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: [openvas-scanner] don't put the plugins into %_libdir/openvas/plugins. Architecture: None Resolution: None Severity: None Version: v3.0.0 Component: openvas-scanner Operating System: None Product: None Hardware: None URL:
Initial Comment: Installing the plugins into %_libdir/openvas/plugins is plain wrong for several reasons - main ones are: 1. Stuff in %_libdir should get managed by the package management not some custom rsync scripts. 2. %_libdir is for architecture dependent stuff (e.g. 32 vs 64 bit) and afaik, correct me if I'm wrong, those plugins are not architecture dependent. IMHO the should be put either in: 1. %_datadir (/usr/share) which would at least fix the architecture problem but still that directory should get touched only by package management. 2. /var/tmp/openvas/plugins is IMHO the preferred solution. Not only would it fix the architecture question but also I see no problem managing its content by random scripts. So, to make it short: Please move the plugins from %_libdir/openvas/plugins to /var/tmp/openvas/plugins to comply with standard directory usage on linux / unix systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://wald.intevation.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=220&aid=1261&group_id=29 _______________________________________________ Openvas-devel mailing list Openvas-devel@wald.intevation.org http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/openvas-devel
