Hi, in Debian, we have a package called clamav-getfiles which uses freshclam to download new virus patterns and in turn packages up main.cvd and daily.cvd into a .deb package which can then be installed on systems that cannot run their own freshclam, for example for policy reasons. We also use clamav-getfiles to have current .deb packages of the clamav virus database in our unstable and volatile archive.
This process of course broke horribly when freshclam suddenly began to produce daily.inc instead of daily.cvd. I am now wondering how to handle this in the future. Is there any possibility to pack up a daily.inc into a "local" daily.cvd file which can be verified with sigtool? Or are we better off with just distributing main.cvd in conjunction with the entire daily.inc directory? What do we do if both daily.cvd and daily.inc are present after the freshclam run? Should any one take precedence, or is this an error which requires manual intervention? Any hints will be appreciated.
