Version : 5.10.1.7

Description : Oval Intreperter
The OVAL Interpreter is a freely available reference implementation that
demonstrates the evaluation of OVAL Definitions. Based on a set of
Definitions the Interpreter collects system information, evaluates it,
and generates a detailed OVAL Results file. It has been developed to
demonstrate the usability of OVAL Definitions and to ensure correct
syntax and adherence to the OVAL Schemas by definition writers.
IMPORTANT: Please note that the OVAL Interpreter is not an enterprise
scanning tool; it is a simplistic, command-line interface that has the
ability to execute OVAL Content on an end system.
ovaldi was previously listed in debian packages but was removed. I have
simply taken the upstream source, cleaned it, prepared it for debian,
and packaged it.
