Hi Folks,
There are quite a few changes in this update that should benefit script
users and package/port maintainers. The only change to the config file
is the addition of the new SaneSecurity signature database, as shown
below. This can be manually added to your existing config files under
the SaneSecurity 'ss_dbs' section.
Here is what has changed with this update (from the CHANGELOG):
Version 2.8 (updated 2009-05-01)
- Added file management to the script so package/port maintainers
can easily uninstall/purge the script's installation. This
same "purge.txt" file, which can be found in the script's
'$config_dir' directory, can also be used by script users to
manually remove the script and all of its associated files.
- Added file removal to the script so that legacy databases and
backup files are completely removed from the file system if
removed or disabled in the script's configuration file. Any
legacy files that remain on the file system prior to using this
version of the script will need to be removed manually. This is
also true if migrating to this script from some other download
script, due to different file naming conventions.
- Added support for the rsync "--contimeout" flag, if the local
rsync client supports this new flag. This provides a means to
timeout a connection attempt after some time interval specified
by the flag (set to 30 seconds in the script) when an rsync server
is not responding to the connection attempt.
- Added some addition output for the script's '-g' (GPG signature
test) and '-s' (clamscan integrity test) flags which will output
flag specific feedback to the user and provide for an easy way
to copy/paste valid databases that can be tested with each flag.
- The script's '-d' (decode virus signature) flag will now also
output what database the virus signature was found in.
- The script now silences all rsync error conditions and will only
output error information if all rsync mirror connection attempts
fail. This way if the script is running in silent mode (no cron
output except when errors are found), the script will not report
an rsync connection failure as long as the script was able to
successfully connect to an alternate mirror. If script logging
is enabled, all rsync connection information will still be
written to the log file.
- Added support for the new SaneSecurity 'jurlbla.ndb' database.

As usual, let me know if there are any issues, suggestions, or feature
requests.
Bill
