Dear Renaud, Dear all, at this point I have to ask you all: is it really needed to let Renaud do all the things concerning creating binaries for all the platforms, all the distributions and so on ? In my eyes it is a waste of manpower. Wouldn't it be better to spend the time for developing new features, plugins and so on? In answer to the special question: Agree that porting to multiplatform is that building another Egyptian pyramid. What I do is: I do scanning enterprise Navy net, use my NessusDBX database extension to keep all scans to generate reports, compare scans, and compare Nessus scans to other scanning or auditing SW reports/files. (having some identical linux boxes) -compiling nessus on a machine with compiler into a special empty directory (e.g. /sectools/). -find all the files, created within that dir. -using EPM (http://www.easysw.com/epm/) to create an rpm package out of the file list. -install the rpm on the other machines without a compiler. > --- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --- > Von: Renaud Deraison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > An: [email protected] > Betreff: Re: Installing Nessus on a machine without a C Compiler. > Datum: Wed, 7 Sep 2005 18:15:57 +0200 > > > On Sep 7, 2005, at 11:58, Ian Castle wrote: > > > > Ian, being somewhat sarcastic but not really as grumpy as he might > > sound. > > > As it has already been mentionned on this list, we intend to make > binaries available in the near future.
