I very much liked the rpmforge repo for many years. However, clamav was one that I wasn't so happy with from them. It seems the username would switch back and forth from clam to clamav to clam to clamav and I would have a non-working version which I didn't always know about. (log file wrong user permission problems)
Ditto here, and for the same reasons.
I switched the clamav install to epel and have had flawless success with their packaging. It's easy to do excludes for various repos so that you don't get conflicting installations.
Rpmforge and Daz have done great work and I'm not meaning for this to sound negative. It was just this one package. Maybe it was two packagers switching the username depending on who did the update? I don't know.
This was our experience as well; changing userids between clam and clamav between updates caused us a lot of avoidable headaches. We switched to epel for clamav because of that one issue. Otherwise we have been very pleased with rpmforge. It will prove a great loss if there is a serious possibility that this resource might fade away.

Fading away is a distinct possibility. David Hrbac, who is trying to maintain rpmforge had this to say on that subject.
"And of course, there's still a question about the Repoforge. Do we really want it? Isn't a time for Epel to replace Repoforge? I still want to keep Repoforge alive bud have no replies from Dag."

for an assessment of such statements is the context essential (Subject: Clamav)
