Quoting Stephen Gran <st...@lobefin.net>:
Faced with an old release of software that will die if the team uses new functionality due to a known bug, and people who will not upgrade to the version that fixes this bug, and a reasonably urgent need to use the new functionality, what exactly would you have done differently?
They have already answered this. They would force sourcefire/clamav to spend lots of time, money, and effort to setup a parallel signature system; one for older versions, one for newer systems. They seem to have no qualm with the idea of making sourcefire/clamav pay this price so they can use the results free of charge... The biggest problem with this suggestion is that it came after the fact, so it isn't a useful suggestion. No one bothered to offer this advice before the change was made. -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns! _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
