Maybe - it's in my clamav-announce mailbox, at least. Try: http://lists.clamav.net/lurker/message/20050214.003000.79670a95.en.html > I am trying to play by the rules, honest.

The ClamAV does not make the rpm's. The way open source development usually works is that the source version is released first, and then binary packagers grab the source and build rpm's, deb's or whatever from the source. There is no realistic way for the clam developers to know who each and every person making a binary package out of their source is, so that they can coordinate a release. The system in place works fine, and if you have decent packagers, just wait until they release a new package version. It is the simplest, and it load shares nicely. If you absolutely must have the latest version the second it comes out, I suggest learning CVS and the build tools, or paying someone to stay on top of it for you. I am not trying to be mean, you understand, I am just trying to explain that there is already a system in place that works well. If it does not meet your expectations, you have to adjust either your expectations or your toolset. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | If the odds are a million to one | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | against something occurring, chances | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | are 50-50 it will. | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
