From previous experiences going back to FC3 the Clamav package is
only updated by the Fedora Team when there is a new release ie FC13.
The FC12 package is currently stuck on 0.95.3.
Andy
And 0.95.3 is not affected (at this time) by the EOL of 0.94.
Although it does not use the new signatures, it does not crash on
them either so.... you are OK.
You can build from source and FC12 should have no dependencies that
are not met.
And it looks like it will be FC 14 that is the first release with
0.96
Jim
I take it from your reply that 0.96 was released after FC13 was
frozen and we will have to wait until the end of the year for an
0.96 rpm.
I have no idea about how or who gets the package into the current
fedora release but I do find it odd the given the amount of security
updates thrown at us weekly (i think I had about 140 odd last week
for FC12) that something as fundamental as a virus scanning tool
only gets upgraded at a major release.
I wasn't going to comment on how or who but .... FC is tightly bound
to Redhat. I migrated from RH9 to FC1 when they went to the policy of
only paid users can get the binaries. You have to build the entire OS
yourself and I did not have skill at that time (if I have it now....)
Fortunately, CentOS has taken care of the building for us (the
community) now. I use CentOS in a couple of installations where I
wanted to have longer life cycles than FC supports.
