It's an example, don't get personal. Life works like this: Upstream -> Distribution -> Users Expecting everyone to manage splintered code bases instead of their distribution when they don't like something is unreasonable. I'm not a distribution, and I don't intend to be one. ClamAV is complicated by the fact that it needs to update its database. I already explained that I can't keep to the distribution releases because the current database causes the 'stable' release to break. Are you telling me that my choice is either to have ineffective virus signatures or spend the rest of time maintaining a whole new package? Why not just fix the problem at the source, then everyone benefits? >> ClamAV isn't the only thing sys-admins have to look after. > > So you try now to move *your* work to someone else for free? > Please get real. This particular problem is a project management culture, not something that particularly interesting code patches. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
