Hassle?
My not-so-automated update process looks like this:
wget (link to current clamav-XXX.tar.gz)
tar xzf clamav-XXX.tar.gz
cd clamav-XXX
configure --disable-zlib-vcheck
make
su
make install
service clamav restart
service freshclam restart
The obvious observation that while this might work for you it's not a
general solution, so now everyone needs to create a script.
If you use only one computer for a firewall and mail machine (as I do)
it is a generally considered a bad idea to have gcc on that system - a
missing compiler provides one more challenge once the system is hacked.
So, while this might work for you, assuming your ClamAV machine is
behind a firewall, this is probably not a good general solution.
IF you ARE running this on a machine that is not behind a firewall, then
you are tending to validate my point that a good, solid, foolproof
installation would help people to avoid security problems - like having
gcc on a firewall. In this case, if such an install existed you might
not have been tempted to build from source and so closed one more hole
on your system.
