+OpenVAS stands for Open Vulnerability Assessment System and is a network
+security scanner with associated tools like a graphical user front-end. The
+core component is a server with a set of network vulnerability tests (NVTs)
+to detect security problems in remote systems and applications.
+
+OpenVAS products are Free Software under GNU GPL and a fork of Nessus.
+
+This package provides the OpenVAS core libraries. To build OpenVAS server,
+you have to compile and install the packages in the the following sequence:
+ 1. openvas-libraries
+ 2. openvas-libnasl
+ 3. openvas-server
+ 4. openvas-plugins
