Update clamav in EPEL 4 and 5
Last modified: 2007-12-30 18:07:13 EST
Description of problem: Please update clamav in EPEL 4 and 5 to something more recent, IIRC it behaves better when using together with amavisd-new. I already requested a branching of amavisd-new for EPEL. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): clamav-0.88.6-1
I am not sure how clamav-0.88.x came into EPEL; it was neither submitted by me for these branches nor do I plan to maintain 0.88.x for 5-7 years.
Do you think, it's a problem to update clamav-0.88.x to 0.9x at all? And are you interested in maintaining a current version of clamav in EPEL?
It is impossible because the configuration file format changed. RHEL/CentOS users assume (resp. pay for it) that nightly 'yum upgrade' operations do not bring their system in a broken state. Upgrade from 0.88.x to 0.9x requires manual changes (e.g. of the files on your cfengine server); else, all mails since 'yum upgrade' and the first phone call from an angry customer can get bounced.
Ush. This IMHO will make a recent amavisd-new unusable at all. Worse.
I have submitted a clamav package for review that I would like to maintain for EPEL. See bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=396171 Reviewers and feedback welcome.
Well, ClamAV in EPEL 4 and 5 is up2date - closing now.
