Before we dig into netcat, something that might be helpful for your task is the debian package generation scripts [0].

This binary seem not to be used at > all; can it be deleted? Interesting! That was used by [1] but when it was deprecated in favor of different methods we forgot to remove it. Just removed it from the trunk.

We need those for the auto-update process which will bring you a completely different set of issues for packaging ;) w3af's auto-update is actually a wrapper around "svn up", so when you call ./w3af_console or ./w3af_gui at the beginning of each day, w3af will internally run an "svn up" and collect all the latest changes from the SVN server. Not sure how we decided it would work, but I think that if you remove all the ".svn" the auto-update will simply not run and w3af will start. You can choose to do that for your suse package. The other way of controlling the auto-update is using the ~/.w3af/startup.conf file, which indicates if w3af should update or not, check frequency, last check date, etc. Regards, > Best regards, > Johannes > > -- > Johannes Weberhofer > Weberhofer GmbH, Austria, Vienna > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Ridiculously easy VDI.
