My personal view is that we should start cleaning out the legacy code from the scripts where we can do so safely, this is a good example of something that can easily be retired. Cheers, Tim ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [Openvas-devel] Dropping NASL_LEVEL Date: Monday 06 April 2009 From: "Jan-Oliver Wagner" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Hi, I wonder whether we should simply drop NASL_LEVEL entirely. Which in fact means that all the if-clauses used in .nasl-skripts can be resolved. OpenVAS started with a level 2300. Also we introduced OPENVAS_NASL_LEVEL because we do not want to mix up with Nessus. So, for OpenVAS users the NASL_LEVEL conditionals are always true anyway. I guess, this primarily concerns those who try to keep NASL-Skripts compatible with Nessus. Any opinion from your side on this idea to drop the NASL_LEVEL. Would it cause problems? Why not keep NASL_LEVEL? Well, it is confusing to new users, comsumes code lines and adds to complexity of some scripts.
