Not quite. I have taken over the packaging of this and the justification of

IIRC it won't even start without a database. This means that a yum install
will need to pause and run freshclam before it can attempt to start clamd.
This has knock-on issues and, apparently, it is always best for yum
todownload what it needs with yum and not some third party tool.
Last time I looked at the .spec file the signatures were marked
%config(noreplace)
Does that avoid the yum issues ?
I can see the sense in running
freshclam --datadir=...
(or cvdupdate) in the
%prep or %build section of clamav.spec
rather than in the %post.
Or even have two sub-packages clamav-db-large and clamav-db-small
both providing clamav-db ? -large has the files and -small has the %post
script.
