    This question is prompted by a question from kumar bava about EPEL7
    on the ClamaAV Users list:

    EPEL currently ship the anti-virus ClamAV v0.103.8

     From September ClamAV 0.103 will be EOL, and all
    supported versions will require Rust.

    Rust is available on RHEL 7, 8 and 9 as a part of Red Hat Developer
    Tools.
    Does that mean that EPEL will or will not be able to continue packaging
    ClamAV ?

    ClamAV do provide rpms, so it may not be the end of the world if
    ClamAV disappears from EPEL, but the details of the packing,
    especially config locations and defaults may be different.


EPEL packages are maintained by volunteers who 'shephard' a particular package for as long as the volunteer can do so. I have cc'd the main ones I have seen making commits and builds in case they aren't following the epel-devel list closely.

That said, EL7 will only be around tilĀ JuneĀ 2024. There will only be so much 'heavy-lifting' possible to keep things going in that time-frame

I've been looking into things and I think we will be able to update clamav in EL7 and EL8 to 1.0.X once 0.103.X goes EOL. We're basically just waiting on one issue to get resolved at the moment:
