 OpenVAS products are Free Software under GNU GPL and a fork of Nessus.
 
+This package provides the OpenVAS scanner. To build a complete OpenVAS scanner
+installation, however, you have to compile and install the packages in the
+following sequence:
+ 1. openvas-libraries
+ 2. openvas-scanner
+ 3. openvas-client
+
+The openvas-client GUI is needed to interact with the OpenVAS scanner, however
+there are some new optional modules:
+ 1. openvas-scanner for storing and organizing scans on a central server in a
+ SQL database
+ 2. openvas-administrator for User-, Feed- and Settings-Management
+ 3. greenbone-security-assistant for a web-based Vulnerability Management
+
 This package provides the OpenVAS client. You need GTK libraries and
 OpenSSL are highly recommended, both of them are avalaible from Slackware.
+
+As a last note, keep in mind that this is a major version transition: the
+older openvas-libnasl and openvas-plugins packages no longer exists,
+openvas-server has been replaced by the openvas-scanner package and there are
+the new optional modules. A straight upgradepkg (with removal of deprecated
+packages) *SHOULD* work but also consider to backup your old configuration and
+starting over from a fresh OpenVAS installation.
