I agree. If someone is having trouble finding packages for their distro, then I would recommend that they learn how to create an updated package, rather than suggest that they rip it all out and build from source all of the time. In fact, that's the reason I learned how to update source-rpms - because my distribution was not keeping up with the clamav updates. They do now, but I learned a valuable skill for other open-source projects I work with. changing a srpm for a new version and rebuilding the binaries is a whole lot easier than messing with source installs on a minimal server. -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE #2495, CNX, CISSP #78281 Austin Energy gpg Key: http://austinnetworkdesign.com/pgp.key Key fingerprint = B527 F53D 0C8C D38B DCC7 901D 2F19 A13A 22E8 A76A _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
