OK to remove this from ports? It went closed-source in 2005 and I don't
see much benefit in keeping a 9-year-old vulnerability scanner in ports.

If anyone is upset by this, feel free to submit an OpenVAS port instead :)


OpenVAS is in OpenBSD-wip plus other supporting ports.

If I have time available I might have another look at a more recent
version of OpenVAS.

Last worked on end of 2012. Needed patching to get working.

I am pretty new to porting, but I would be interested in working with someone 
to test and patch a new OpenVAS port.  I don’t know how much use I would be, 
but if help is needed, I’m happy to jump in and give it a go.  I would just 
need a bit of direction to get started, and probably an evening to re-read the 
porter’s handbook.
