Re: [clamav-users] I can't update Clamav database for 5 days
Thank you all for understanding, and yes, I could have been more clear in the blog post. But the intention is that when EOL happens, those versions are now disabled. — Sent from my iPad > On Mar 7, 2021, at 11:18, Paul Smith via clamav-users > wrote: > > > On 07/03/2021 15:55, Arjen de Korte via clamav-users wrote: >> >> This was announced almost a month ago on on both the clamav-announce and >> clamav-users mailinglists.

As it happens the current CVDs work perfectly well with ClamAV 0.99, it's just that FreshClam 0.99 can't download them (because of the way the rate limiting has been implemented) "End of life (EOL) for ClamAV essentially means that we will no longer be testing against that version when we write signatures, and we may break something with a future release. So, while signatures may work past March 1, we are no longer testing that configuration." That announcement is saying that things may break with a future release. There hasn't been a future release of ClamAV since that announcement. It's also not saying that the old FreshClam won't be able to download the updates, just that they may not work in ClamAV. The changes to prevent excessive downloads are what triggered old FreshClam failing. It's the same reason that wget won't work (for implementing private mirrors). It all happened at exactly the same time.

Re: [clamav-users] I can't update Clamav database for 5 days
Citeren Paul Smith via clamav-users : A sudden configuration change (due to excessive updates by some parties) on the ClamAV servers has broken updates for any EOL versions of ClamAV. (It's caught quite a few of us out!) This was announced almost a month ago on on both the clamav-announce and clamav-users mailinglists. This has not been caused by the changes to prevent excessive downloads.
