Just out of curiosity would anyone be interested in a mcafee virusscan
installer package in slink contrib? I have everything created, the only
thing I'd have to work on would be upstream upgrades (it currently doesn't
handle this at all) and then I'd write an intent to package and upload it.
I could probably squeeze it in before the freeze.
Thing is, Network Associates Inc. is axing the Mcafee engine in favor of Dr
Solomon soon.
However, it *is* the world's first self-replicating debian package :)
(build-uvscan makes full debs of the engine and datfiles, the engine deb
includes build-uvscan :)
