Yep - a fast box can build ClamAV from source in less than 5

It's good for the soul.
Better yet, grab the SRPM of the release you've been using, grab the
newer ClamAV source, and build your own RPM. All you have to do is:
- Install the SRPM ("rpm -ivh whatever.src.rpm")
- Put the new ClamAV source in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES *
- Change the version number in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/clamav.spec
- Run "rpmbuild -ba clamav.spec" (Actually, RH 7.3 might be old enough
to have the functionality in rpm instead of rpmbuild.)
That way you get the clean install/uninstall/etc. of RPM *plus* you have
a current version that doesn't depend on someone else releasing an RPM.
* If you do this as root, it'll go into /usr/src/redhat. If you're
going to do this a lot, you'll want to look up how to set up a tree in
your home directory so you can build as yourself.
