EPEL maintainers? I note messages in the log about updated version 0.99.1 of CLAMAV being available since Mar 5th. for CentOS 6 no update is available yet. I used to use rpmforge for this package but that languished for months before updates became available and eventually stopped altogether. Is there something I can do to assist in getting this package updated? I have no idea if this is a difficult package to compile with lots of dependancies or some otherwise complexities. In this era of constant SPAM and so many virus / trojan attempts to do harm to others, it is vital that we run this package to protect our users. Please let me know if / how I can assist. Kind regards Rob
I'm seeing 0.99.1-1.el6 of the various (x86_64) bits in epel-testing, so you could get it from there and update to the fully tested version when it is released.
In general I think it is most important to keep your signatures current. I don't get the sense that the changes between [sub-]point-releases are earth shattering (despite the ominous warning that you will see in your logs).
