By configuring your systems to be tolerant of such failures of
software which will happen for a variety of reasons.
Sorry, try to read my statement and your answer again to see if you
make any sense...
Again, you (who ever was responsible for this malware action within
the ClamAV project) are not in a rightful position to shut down an
operational system/service.
Even if such a system is not able to update with the latest
signatures, that doesn't render it inoperable.
It is solely up the operator/owner of that system to take
responsibility for any issues beyond that, the ClamAV project has no
business interfering with that...
Thank you Ralf for having taken the time to investigate my
qualifications. I am sure you have used what you consider due
diligence in your investigation. With that investigation, can you
tell me who, when, how I slandered any one? I have not resorted to
calling anyone names.
I don't see any point in wasting any time to go through the last two
days of posts as you do not seem to even start to see any wrong doing
on your part. For me personally, not surprising...
Also, it is you who are slandering as I am not connected in any way
with the ClamAV team except as a user. As such I did not affect
anyones system in any way.
For one I referred to your arrogant behavior against several people
that complaint about the whole issue.
And I referred to the irresponsible behavior of the ClamAV project.
If you are a part of that project is irrelevant at this point...
This is as far as I will directly comment on this issue on the
mailing list. The damage is done and the right thing to do is to make
sure such actions won't happen again, setting an example for other
projects to begin with. Or Open Source will be doomed forever...
