Description Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2008-07-09 11:17:02 UTC 
From what I can see from the Changelog, no important fixes, but freshclam will bring irritating warnings:

WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
WARNING: Local version: 0.93.1 Recommended version: 0.93.3

The announcement to the mailing list said: 

"This release fixes and re-enables the Petite unpacker, improves database
loading and solves some other minor issues."

The petite unpacker part sounds fairly important to me, as petite-packed viruses might otherwise escape detection.

FYI: Renaming clamav-0.93.1.ebuild to clamav-0.93.3.ebuild worked fine on a x86 and a amd64 machine.

Only there is a caveat when upgrading: Under some circumstances clamd seems to load two versions of its database after upgrading. The solution seems to delete the main.cld in clamav's DB directory and re-run freshclam. The main.cld file as been superseeded by a main.clv it seems.

I'm getting a lot of the log messages saying I've an outdated installation.

Is there any issues blocking (0.9.3 is out since 2008 07 07) the new ebuild ? Is it safe (for mails scanning) to run my own ebuild ?
