For openSUSE distribution I have - so added the following packages to the repositories
python-python-termstyle python-nose-exclude python-cluster python-rednose python-SocksiPy python-pybloomfiltermmap python-pymock w3af for openSUSE is still under development - especially because most tests fails under Python 2.7, even though it seems to work correctly. You can have a look at the packaging files under https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=w3af&project=home%3Aweberho%3Atools There are some patches which I suggest to be included: w3af.fsf-address.diff : Corrects the FSF foundation's address w3af-import-pypdf.diff: Fixes a include issue And there is a new icon for the desktop: w3af.png Can be applied when It's definitely working under Python 2.7 w3af-pyton27.diff In case someone likes to try it, the related repositories ( http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/ and http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/weberho:/tools/ ) must be included. All required packages should install automatically.... Have fun!
