Greenbone vulnerability management (metaport)

This is the metaport to install GVM applications and libraries.

When the OpenVAS project was created it only consisted of an engine for scanning vulnerabilities. Shortly after Greenbone Networks was funded to achieve professional support for vulnerability scanning. Greenbone started to lead the development, added several software components and turned OpenVAS into a vulnerability management solution still keeping the values of free software.

After several years it became obvious that using OpenVAS as the brand name for the open source project and funding nearly all development of the project was not recognized from the outside. Therefore after the release of the OpenVAS 9 framework it got renamed to Greenbone Vulnerability Management GVM and released as Greenbone Source Edition GSE.
