Re: [Oorexx-devel] [oorexx:bugs] #1713 Virus in future (beta) version

[P.O. Jonsson]

Dear René,

We have had this a couple of times, I have seen it on my Windows machine when 
installing (not when building) as well. I have checked vigorously every time to 
make sure the build machine for Windows is not infected, it is most likely a 
heuristic detection.

I agree completely regarding a release of ooRexx 5, we might have lost a large 
user, the EPO , with more than 4000 ooRexx installations 
still running 4.2. They are now moving to Python from what I have heard.

Regarding running Virus checkers on Jenkins I see no problems in that, I will 
have a look. In my experience it is only Windows that is affected. Setting up a 
job on Jenkins master that runs a virus checker on the slaves should be 
possible I think.

Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse,
P.O. Jonsson

Hi Erich,

thanks. I’ll write to MS and SourceForge today and register a complaint. I’ll 
also put this in a readme on SourceForge so people are aware.

René.
