[Oval-devel] Fwd: [OVAL-DEVELOPER-LIST] OVAL's for Debian DSA

[Pavel Vinogradov]

  Forward patches from secpod for dsa2oval tools.
Still not applied because created against old branch of dsa2oval tool.

I need schedule some additional time to resolve this issue and sync
two versions of dsa2oval script.

Hi Pavel,

Please find diff files for both parseDsa2Oval.py, generator.py along
with this mail.
In future we will try to create one diff per logical change.

Please let me know, If there are any modifications required.
