Re: [Clamav-users] No announcement of 0.83 on clamav-announce ML

Okay, okay. I guess the RPM business went too far. And you are right this is free software. But the thing that actually gets me is that when a new release of Clam comes out, it seems like there is all sorts of catching up to do. Believe it or not, I actually know how to use rpm tools. And
