Bug#1004404: ITP: cvdupdate -- ClamAV Private Database Mirror Updater Tool



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Scott Kitterman <debian@kitterman.com>

* Package name    : clamav-cvdupdate
  Version         : 1.0.2
  Upstream Author : The Clamav Team <clamav-bugs@external.cisco.com>
* URL             : https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/cvdupdate
* License         : Apache 2.0
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : ClamAV Private Database Mirror Updater Tool

 cvdupdate downloads the latest ClamAV databases along with the latest
 database patch files.
 .
 Run this tool as often as you like, but it will only download new content if
 there is new content to download. If you somehow manage to download too
 frequently (eg: by using cvd clean all and cvd update repeatedly), then the
 official database server may refuse your download request, and one or more
 databases may go on cool-down until it's safe to try again.
 .
 This replaces the clamdownloader.pl script formerly provided on clamav.net.

This is the upstream clamav official tool for maintaining a private
clamav data mirror, which users with a non-trivial number of
installations will need to do.  We should provide this in Debian.

Although implemented in Python, it's primary purpose is as an executable
tool, so I will maintain this in the ClamAV Team.
