Re: [clamav-users] ClamAV mirrors have gotten worse!

2018-11-22 Thread Paul Kosinski 
I was just looking at freshclam.conf.sample in 0.101.2, and it looks
like *all* logging is disabled by default  (back to 0.98.6, at least).
I wonder how many users of ClamAV actually log their freshclam updates.
Those who don't likely won't notice freshclam temporary failures due
to an out-of-sync condition.

Also, timestamps are a logging option which is separate, and disabled
by default. Thus even people who enable some logging may not see the
details of any delays. (I, personally, don't understand how logging
without timestamps is of much use.)

In any case, we do eventually get (hopefully all) the virus DB updates,
assuming at least one mirror remains enabled in mirrors.dat.

Does this change how socket-connected clients (milters, for example) 
communicate?

# Changes to the libclamav API:

  * Those who build applications around our shared library will need to change
how they declare and pass scanning options to libclamav. Please take a
look at the change to our example code for details.
  * Scanning functions now have a filename argument. The argument is optional,
but improves the efficiency when parsing certain types that require a file
on disk to open and read, and will allow for additional improvements in
the future.
  * Many of the scanning option #defines have changed. These can be found in
our clamav.h header.
  * The libclamav version number has changed.

# Some of the clamd config and clamscan command line option names have changed. 
The original versions will still work for a time, but eventually they will be 
deprecated. These options in question are detailed in the NEWS document.
