Vincent, all: I spent my weekend crafting a tool that to download & maintain CVD's and CDIFF's for use in a private mirror. The tool named "cvdupdate" and is available on: - PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/cvdupdate/0.1.0/ - Github: https://github.com/micahsnyder/cvdupdate **Disclaimer: This repository may be transferred to a new clamav org on Github in the nearish future.
Requirements: python 3.6 or newer, and an internet connection with DNS enabled. You can install it with `pip3 install -user cvdupdate`, or `python3 -m pip install -user cvdupdate` The simplest use case: install it and then run `cvd update`. The CVDs and CDIFFs will be downloaded to `~/.cvdupdate/database`. Run it as often as you need, in a cron job for example. Please see the readme for more usage options/features. In the future we may add an option to Freshclam to keep CDIFFs so you can use Freshclam for private mirror maintenance instead. But for now, this "cvdupdate" tool should work nicely. Please ONLY use this tool to maintain private mirrors. DON'T use it for updating your regular clamav database. Use Freshclam instead for that. I really hope this helps. Any feedback is welcome. You should be able to create Issues on the github repo if you find any problems. Best regards, Micah Micah Snyder ClamAV Development Talos Cisco Systems, Inc.

But please, help us since we do not want to replay 2018- with huge instabilisaties on public infrastructure of Clamav (we really want to preserve our private mirrors) AND we do not find anything about forcing freschclam to preserve cdiff. So here is the question (Joel : that we post here since we think we are not alone to got this problem) : How do we force freschclam to preserve cdiffs OR How can we generate cdiff (freshclam compliant) to make our private mirrors work again ? Thanks you, Vincent TW CTO
