Okay, okay. I guess the RPM business went too far. And you are right this is free software. But the thing that actually gets me is that when a new release of Clam comes out, it seems like there is all sorts of catching up to do.
Believe it or not, I actually know how to use rpm tools. And I have about 10 years experience in configuration management (but none of it involving packaging of open software). The issue started out -- and then I went overboard because I felt frustrated -- that all of a sudden I discover that freshclam is not running, and only because I happened to be looking at it at that moment. Why it stops running is a mysterious: Do I have to have the latest code to match the virus defs, or does the existing code handle a newer schema for one or two releases until everyone has a chance to "catch up" with the latest code? And, please, don't snap at me. If you stopped to read the entire email I sent, you would see that I was thinking of a worldwide community of clamav users, not just very technical people who have the resources to put it all together. I was thinking of all of you and the hard work you are putting in. Really I was.
