If you are updating your system and the distro is not releasing a new
version clamav, then I would suggest building your own. That way you are
in control of the update schedule and not dependent on the distro. If
this is a production system, test first on a non-production system of
the same version so you are confident of your ability to complete the
process. For the most part, it is a straight forward process. Here are
the step:
* Download latest source from sourceforge.net or clamav.net
* Unpack the source
* cd to source directory and run the following commands
* ./configure
* make
uninstall the current version using the standard distro method. This is
important as most distros use custom locations. Also find your
configuration files and move them to a backup location. Make sure the
distro files have been removed. Most distro uninstalls are good at this
but.... better to be sure than having to track them down if there is a
problem. Once all this is done, in the source directory run make
install. Using the distro configuration files as a guide, modify the new
configuration files. Do not modify any of the paths in the new
configuration files without first verifying the modified path exists and
has the correct user and permissions. Run freshclam. The current source
no longer includes database files since they would almost always be out
of date. Then start and test the clamav services. You can customize the
./configure options and get a list of options via ./configure -h. I like
to run ./configure -h > options.txt and then open options.txt in a text
editor so I can refer to the available options as I write the
./configure command line.
If you want to stay with the distro style installation. You can build
your own installation but .... that is more involved. For instance in
the Redhat style of .rpm files, you would use rpmbuild to make the .rpm
files. You would also need a spec file for rpmbuild to use as a recipe
for the build. If you are using Fedora, I can supply a spec file upon
request.
