Hello,
just curious; since March 3rd, 2016 everdays logwatch-mail shows this:
Last Status: WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED! WARNING: Local version: 0.99 Recommended version: 0.99.1
do these warnings raise any problems? could they be suppressed?
It's been awhile since I used ClamAV but when I did, I would rebuild the new version by modifying the src.rpm of the old version to the new version but using a 0 in the release tag so that it would be replaced by a repo maintained version as soon as it hit the repositories.
It generally takes a week or so for an update to make it to epel. They are still showing 0.99.1-1. You might want to check the epel-testing repo in a couple of days.
I think that that clamav warning message is a bit more dire sounding than necessary.
Agreed. As an observation, I don't update daily, but more than once a week. For the last two clamav updates, 0.98.7->0.99 and 0.99->0.99.1, the warnings lasted for 5 and 4 weeks.
