Re: clamav/oav-update/scannerdaemon



Dear All, 

Just got my head above water and had a look at Clam AV 0.51 Debian
package source. 

If the Clam AV database is going to be kept very up to date, then
OAV-update is not needed any more, and should be removed from Debian.  

However, it has a modular design, and it is able to be extended to cover
the new database formats, as well as pull data from multiple sources, as
well as adding site-local data.  Does anyone else want to step up to the
table to take it over. 

I am sorry to have to say this, but I have no more time to maintain
oav-update, and be the upstream author.  

Pending someone asking to take it over (I will wait 3 days), I will
either orphan it, or ask for it to be removed from Debian. 

I will keep on maintaining nomarch (my other package), and will look at
it tonight. 

I am planning to continue my work on email virus scanning, in support of
the Linux Aid Server Project (http://www.anathoth.gen.nz/).  I see my
future as a Debian Maintainer working on various subsystems, and passing
packages on to others.  This is how I will work in the future.


Best Regards, 

Matthew Grant
