Dale, Thanks for your email. I’m not sure exactly what you are referring to. Maybe I am missing a connection here or something, but the discussion was around scanning DMG and XAR, which I think, if there’s a issue with, we’d be more than happy to work with anyone to try and square away.
You seem to be discussing a build issue, and you say that it’s a waste of time. When did you get the impression that working with the developers was a waste of time? If we’re not communicating well enough, we can fix that. But I think the team is doing a good job of that judging by the amount of complaints I have received since we took over the project from the old ClamAV team. Please let me know if we need to take this offline and discuss or anything I can do to help. -- Joel Esler Open Source Manager Threat Intelligence Team Lead Vulnerability Research Team On Mar 20, 2014, at 3:55 PM, Dale Walsh <d...@daleenterprise.com<mailto:d...@daleenterprise.com>> wrote: Mark, this has been an issue for many versions along with a slew of others things not working as expected. As much as I liked ClamAV, we've abandoned it as a mail solution shortly after things stopped working correctly and they changed the required build tools so you can no longer build it with GCC 3.3/4.0/4.1/4.2 and have a fully functional app. Yes there are flags to get it to build but certain modules and features don't build and making an incomplete and partially functional binary isn't appealing. Advice on updating build tools is a waste of time as there is no reason to update the build tools just to build ClamAV as it's the only one that has this ridiculous built-tool requirement and only an idiot would tell me to update. My thoughts on this is simple, if it doesn't build with the basic GNU GCC compiler tools then it's seriously flawed and needs these other tools to overcome the short-comings of poorly written/implemented code. When I say build, I mean build with full functionality so don't go off the deep-end stating it builds, partial functionality may be acceptable to you bhut it isn't to me. At this time, for personal use, I use the source code but repackage the build environment to work with what I have and I'm comfortable with submitting corrections and patches, too much focus and complaints on my build tools so why waste my time. -- Dale On Mar 19, 2014, at 11:34 AM, Rafael Ferreira wrote: Interesting... let me run some tests and get back to you.
