[Clamav-devel] The upcoming 15 April kill-switch

2010-04-07 Thread David F. Skoll
Hi, I have a question about the CVD that will contain a special signature which disables all clamd installations older than 0.95. What exactly will this do? Will old versions always report No virus? Or will they always report Virus? Or will they always report an error? Regards, David.

Would you prefer freshclam/ClamAV crash/corrupt memory when loading the new databases with 980 byte lines? If it was impossible to support new functionality with a database compatible with ClamAV =0.94, then the database should have forked -- two sets of databases generated by the automated

David, While I agree, to some extent, with your concerns, I cannot help but wonder why you waited until now to raise this issue. The fact that ClamAV =0.94 would stop working on April 15 was first announced six months ago, on October 6, 2009. Surely this question would have been better asked
