--- Comment #3 from Henrik Krohns <[email protected]> --- Do you have a patch that applies cleanly to latest trunk? Your file is quite old 3.3.2, many small changes after that.. ( waiting for KAM to ask signing CLAs.. ;-) ) Not against the idea completely. Some distributions have something similar. Then again I have to think about how many people use extra channels, and how many of those actually feel the current sa-update is lacking something? Does running separate sa-update per channel have issues? Also I'm not sure what you think "sa-setup" should perform? Just gauging if it's worth the effort to see this through (there's really not many active maintainers right now, if even that..). But if it's a clean 100% backwards compatible patch then maybe why not. Just a new option that uses the dir contents and nothing else. We could try to make 4.0.0 easier so perhaps more people would create update channels. One problem is that sa-update requires DNS records to check versions etc, way too much work to create a channel, atleast we need to provide "pure http" option. I do have some scepticism about channels in general. The few that are out there are pretty localized and nothing but bunch of fixed strings and uris, which could possibly be much more efficiently used as clamav signatures or DNS lists etc. Also the scoring is usually suspect (no masschecks) and sa-update has no option to adjust/limit scores on the fly (we should add this option). Good bug for some thinking, already there's some options that should be added. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
