Just an 'offline' comment (don't want to bother the other list members with 
this)...

I've been downloading the source code, and the 'source' RPM from different 
sites, 'unpack' and rebuild the RPM to 'my' specs (change of directories,  
requirement to have 'my' configuration RPM installed first - for user/group 
ID's, etc),  and use a 'manual' download method for the database updates, since 
we don't want systems connecting out themselves.

I don't know of a way to 'automate' this process, or who would provide RPM's 
that would fit 'out' needs and configurations.

Might just have to document the update process well, and have the 'rebuild' jig 
in-place.

Barely on topic but I have a question about RPM's. I'm rolling out an 
enterprise ClamAV solution for PCI compliance and need to use a reliably 
sourced RPM distribution from a third party. I've always done this myself but 
as a contractor that would not be appropriate as I won't be there forever. I 
have no experience with these distributions so wonder if there is any kind of 
consensus on a good vendor. I've seen Dag Weir's packages, for example and they 
seem fine. Best practice says find two such reliable (and interchangeable) 
vendor's products should one or the other become non-available.

The platform of interest is RHEL 5.x, 6.x, and the Oracle Linux equivalents.
