nessus v3?

I don't find an archlinux package for nessus v3 on nessus.org, I guess it's not gonna be an archlinux nessus v3 package unless tenable/nessus.org makes one available?

At the moment I can download one of these:

Red Hat ES 3    Nessus-3.0.1-es3.i386.rpm        5746 KB    
Red Hat ES 4   Nessus-3.0.1-es4.i386.rpm        5786 KB    
Fedora Core 4  Nessus-3.0.1-fc4.i386.rpm        6181 KB    
FreeBSD 5      Nessus-3.0.1-fbsd5.tbz          3803 KB    
SuSE 10        Nessus-3.0.1-suse10.0.i586.rpm  4585 KB    
SuSE 9.3       Nessus-3.0.1-suse9.3.i586.rpm   4638 KB    
FreeBSD 6      Nessus-3.0.1-fbsd6.tbz          3808 KB    
Debian 3.1     Nessus-3.0.1-debian3_i386.deb   4808 KB

Is it possible to install one of these? Is it possible to install rpms in Arch? I really like to use nessus 3 instead of 2.2.6...

This is the open source fork of nessus. Perhaps arch could move to inclusion of this once the initial release is made.

In the mean time, you might be able to use an rpm..just extract it and try running the binaries.

Re: nessus v3?

Is rpmunpack the tool to use then?

Yes, you could use  rpmunpack.

Personnally, I use rpmextract instead:
# pacman -S rpmextract
$ rpmextract.sh file.rpm
