Sorry if the subject is a bit vague. I wasn't sure how to summarize this.

I am building a new server (CentOS4.2) and I am trying to stay with RPM installs as much as possible. The problem is with packages that I would like to keep more up to date than allowed by the repositories. This will be a mailserver doing spam and virus checking. As such, I want SpamAssassin and ClamAV to be as up-to-date as possible. The current rpm for ClamAV is 6 months and 3 releases behind.

where did you look for this clamav rpm ? both rpmforge.net and centos.karan.org have clamav which are updated soon after upstream release.

That's a good question... I'm using yum with dag's repository added. I could have sworn that it had an old version when I tried it earlier, but now I see 0.88. Ah well.

BTW... Why are the db files packaged separately? I would think it would cause confusion if both freshclam and yum are updating the db files.

I should point out that dag's pkgs at rpmforge.net are packages slightly differently from the ones at centos.karan.org - so whichever repo you decide to use, stick with that one for clamav ( ref: yum's includepkg etc for that .repo file )

Interesting. I had not looked at your repo.

Your repo does have at least one extra RPM that I was looking for (perl-Mail-SPF-Query), but yum says it's missing a dependency.

Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Net::CIDR::Lite) >= 0.15 is needed by package perl-Mail-SPF-Query Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Net::CIDR::Lite) is needed by package perl-Mail-SPF-Query

This doesn't seem to be in any of the repositories. I found perl-Net-CIDR, but that doesn't satisfy the dependency.
